The Editor's Preface reads: This catalogue offers a revised account of Cecil Beaton and his visual imagination. It contains essays of critical and historical analysis as well as essays of celebration. Their emphasis is upon Beaton's extraordinary place in British cultural history, and this is one of the key elements in the introduction, BEATON'S BEAUTIES. In this I have tried to set out some of the broad lines of Beaton's strategies and their several contexts. This is followed by a detailed chronology, SNAPSHOTS IN TIME, compiled by Terence Pepper of the National Portrait Gallery, which provides an overview of Beaton's career until his death in 1980... Amongst all of his activities that deserve re[appraisal perhaps it is Beaton's relationship to the theatre that will preoccupy future art historians... Taken together, it is hoped that these writings will open new ways of considering Beaton's achirvements, in conjunction with the exhibition itself.
