Abstract
We cite from the COVER :
"This is the first retrospective of a remarkable photographer. Cecil Beaton called him the best photographer in the country; others dubbed him the camera's greatest magician; Lord Snowdon simply calls him a genius.
Angus McBean revolutionized portraiture in the Thirties, left his mark on British theatre and created some of the strangest and funniest photographs with his irreverent surrealism which has kept the experts guessing.
Angus McBean has always said that his subjects wanted only to be beautiful. He made Vivien Leigh into the most beautiful woman in the world; he discovered Audrey Hepburn and gave Marlene Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor and many other stars of the stage, screen and society his own special treatment. Even the Beatles and other pop stars were given his attention.
Angus McBean has collaborated with writer Adrian Woodhouse to present through 120 carefully selected photographs the pinnacles of his extraordinary career."
