Tomorrow 22nd January is Peter Beard’s 73rd birthday. Even if many would consider is career as an artist to be behind him, Beard is still present in many publications. Either because as a photographer, his predictions on Africa‘s future are becoming truer everyday, or because as an artist, his diaries remain unique pieces documenting one’s life and inspiring others’. Nonetheless, he is also regarded as an true dandy, handsome and elegant ; perhaps making him a sort of role-model many would sought to imitate.
Gifted in several ways – his unique family background, his self-admitted luck, his creativity of course, and multi-polar passions – Beard uses photography as the foundation for works ranging from collages to film-making or acting. His personal life takes such a part into his creations, differentiate the two would be a tedious challenge. He brought fashion and supermodels into African landscapes as much as he brought Africa’s nature to the West, in a complete new way.
Tour d’horizon of his career and his life in a couple of dates, books, locations, wives and style.
