BEATON, Cecil
[134] pp.
Charles Scribner's Sons/ B.T. Batsford, Ltd.
1946
Second Edition
9" x 7"
*w/ slight vertical creasing to first 5 pages*
Time Exposure is the first retrospective of Beaton's photographs. The book is filled with over 300 of Beaton's photographs, taken between 1923 and 1940. There are portraits, fashion photographs and travel shots, several of which are rarely reproduced elsewhere. Peter Quennell, the writer and critic, provides the commentary and captions. In his text, he observes a vanished world, one full of artifice and posture that is mirrored in Beaton's work. The final chapter acknowledges the new outlook brought in by the War. Beaton's portraits of political leaders, and photographs of London's bomb damage, evacuees and the RAF are an abrupt change from the society portraits of the twenties and reflect the new concerns of both the people and the photographer.
