Assouline has just published a beautiful book of British photographer Cecil Beaton’s collages and private scrapbooks. Beaton, who worked for fifty years non-stop starting in the late 20’s, mostly for Vogue, died in 1980. He was not only an amazing fashion and portrait photographer but also an Academy Award-winning stage and costume designer for films and the theater. An early champion of enjoying every creative outlet you have and the original photographer and stylist. Cecil Beaton: The Art of The Scrapbook by James Danziger is available online and at Assouline boutiques (there is one in LA on Melrose Place). The book is 11.5 x 14.4″ and 2,000 glorious images.
