Photographer, naturalist, and raconteur Peter Beard has befriended and photographed some of the most prominent figures of our times. From his earliest attempts at expression as a child to the mania for travel and adventure that overtook Beard as a young man, and onward to Beard's most recent work on assignment, portraiture is a central thread of Beard's career.
Beard's "portraits", however, rarely conform to the traditional format of this genre. Instead, they embody spontaneity, the moments shared with intimate friends, and the adventurous lives and experiences to which he has long been attracted. A vital chronicler of our times, he has created memorable images of such icons as Picasso, Francis Bacon, Karen Blixen, Andy Warhol, Truman Capote, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Salvador Dali, and Mick Jagger, along with the last great safari hunters, people such as J. A. Hunter, Phillip Percival, and "Cape-to-Cairo" Grogan. Beard's "living sculpture" of poised beauty is also revealed -- Brigitte Bardot, Carole Bouquet, Iman, and Verushka. Perhaps the greatest departure from conventional portraiture are Beard's searing images of elephants and crocodiles. Fifty Years of Portraits, the catalogue for the traveling exhibition, assembles the most diverse and eclectic collection of images from Beard's lifetime ever published.

- 4K, Acrylic, aerosol, and collage of torn pictures on canvasLocated in PARIS, FRMultidisciplinary artist Joachim Romain aligns himself with a contemporary wave, propelled by the concepts of time and the resulting wear and tear. He delves into the urban environment and the consumer society that conditions us on a daily basis. His work is grounded in paper, posters, and advertising discourse, referencing overconsumption. "The consumer society in which we live exists thanks to paper and advertising posters that sprawl across cities in 4 x 3 format," he states, utilizing this medium to denounce the commercial message. The poster is thus recycled, manipulated, glued, and exhibited once again, reflecting the endless mirror...Category
