BEARD
LEGENDARY PHOTOGRAPHER PETER BEARD'S WORK
CAPTURES THE CULTURAL DEXTERITY OF AFRICA: SIMULTANEOUSLY SENSUAL AND ABJECT, INVITING AND DANGEROUS, EXOTIC AND FAMILIAR, GLAMOROUS YET
PRIMAL. BEARD'S ARTISTIC VERSATILITY ENCOMPASSES THAT OF PHOTOGRAPHER, JOURNALIST, COLLECTOR, CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGIST AND WRITER. HIS PICTURE MAKING BRIDGES
CONTINENTAL GAPS IN A SINGULAR VISION. IN BEARD'S PICTORIAL
COLLAGES, A VOGUE COVERGIRL SEEMS AT HOME BESIDE AN ELEPHANT FETUS AND THE IMAGE IS PRISTINELY MATTED IN BOVINE BLOOD. THE POWERFUL, INDIVIDUAL IMAGES SERVE AS MATERIAL TO INTEGRATE IN
BEARD'S SCHISMATIC
SUMMATION OF LIFE.
