Description
Peter Beard was a man who defied convention. With his chiseled features and charismatic presence, he blazed across the worlds of art, photography, and fame like a comet. His life was a series of daring escapades, from hunting big game in Africa to pursuing the most beautiful women in the world. Beard's friendships with icons such as Jackie Onassis, Andy Warhol, and Francis Bacon are the stuff of legend. Yet, despite his high-profile affairs and adventures, he remained an enigma to even those closest to him. It was only through hundreds of interviews with Beard's friends, former lovers, and fellow artists that a more intimate portrait of this complex individual began to emerge. This biography, written by journalist and author Graham Boynton, who knew Beard for over 30 years, offers a unique insight into the life of a true original.
