Peter Beard: Scrapbooks From Africa and Beyond

By Guillaume Bonn (Author)

Peter Beard: Scrapbooks From Africa and Beyond is a colorful and definitive portrait of a man of all seasons. The book and film follow the inner drama of one of the great creative spirits. Like the colorful marginalia of the notebooks he's kept since his youth, it is collage drawn from life itself. Scrapbooks From Africa and Beyond reveals a mixture of seriousness and wit, and rests upon Peter Beard's skills as a storyteller. The series of incisive and never before published interviews by British journalist Edward Behr form the backbone of this book that takes viewers to three continents. Marked by a sense of intimacy and sincerity, this documentary shows Beard at work shooting nudes and fashion, with his family and friends, the native Kenyans he lived near and works with or just one-on-one, in candid and revealing scenes that underscore his life's work.

Film narrated by award-winning actress, Charlotte Rampling, with rare footage of Francis Bacon, Jonas Mekas, Andy Warhol, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Mick Jagger among numerous others.
