| Cecil Beaton: Faces of the 20th Century | Print |
Experience Cecil Beaton’s fantastic portraits and sense the presence of history at The Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle with the exhibition Cecil Beaton – Faces of the 20 th Century. The exhibition displays more than 80 portraits of famous Hollywood stars, international artists and influential politicians. Cecil Beaton renewed the photograph with his iconic portraits through more than 50 years. With that, the exhibition also functions as a cultural stroll through the 20 th century – from Beatons early inter-war portraits of Fred Astaire and Pablo Picasso, his famous war photographs from the Second World War, his masterly presentation of the golden era of Hollywood and his sense of the whole new cultural direction in the 60’s and 70’s. Harold Pinter, Barbara Streisand and Mick Jagger are only a few of the Beaton models from these decades. To find out more, follow this link.
