'For all the documented brilliance of his other muses, it is as a photographer that Beaton attains cultural importance--not only because of the individual excellence of his own work, but because of its influence on the work of the last two generations: whether or not they admit it, or are even conscious of it, there is almost no first rate contemporary photographer of any nationality who is not to some degree indebted to Cecil Beaton.

'Why?

'Look at the pictures.'
- Truman Capote

The Best of Beaton is a magnificent anthology of the art of one of the world's greatest photographers. More than three hundred photographs reflect the extraordinary range of interest and perceptive individuality that characterize Cecil Beaton's camera artistry. The collection includes fashion photographs that started fashions, portraits of eminent people the last four decades, brutal and poignant photographs of war, travel pictures, pastiches of Victorian daguerreotypes, and surrealist compositions.
