Twentieth-century man : the wild life of Peter Beard / Christopher Wallace. by Wallace, Christopher (Author), author. New York, NY : Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, [2023] Subjects Beard, Peter H. (Peter Hill), 1938-2020.   Photographers -- United States -- Biography.   Adventure and adventurers -- United States -- Biography. ISBN:  9780063066410 (hardcover) : 0063066416 (hardcover) Description:  xiii, 272 pages : illustration ; 24 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  "Peter Beard lived an astonishing life. The artist, wildlife photographer, and bon vivant enthralled and inspired both because of his work and his legendary lifestyle. A scion of American industry turned explorer of Africa and environmental advocate, Beard embodied the extremes of his time: grand adventurer and sexually voracious partier, friend of everyone from the Rolling Stones to Jackie Onassis to Andy Warhol to Karen Blixen. And Beard had a passion--probably more like an obsession--with the faults of the entire human experiment, with the ways in which our consumption of the world's resources have come to consume us all. Beard's outsize life and character--his death-defying documentation of both the endangered wildlife of Africa, and, closer to home, some of the world's most beautiful women for a range of fashion magazines--animate this lively but authoritative biography"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 770.92 Beard Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
