Peter Beard<\/a>\u2019s illustrated diaries, which he kept from a young age, evolved into a serious career as an artist and earned him a central position in the international\u00a0art<\/a>\u00a0world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He collaborated with Francis Bacon and Salvador Dali, made diaries with Andy Warhol, worked on books with scientists such as Dr Norman Borlaug and Alistair Graham, and toured with Truman Capote, Terry Southern, and the Rolling Stones \u2013 all of whom are brought to life in his work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He delved into the world of fashion, taking Vogue stars like Veruschka<\/a> to Africa. After spending time in Kenya and striking up a friendship with the author Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen) in the early 1960s, Beard bought 50 acres next to her farm, with the stipulation that he would film and write about the land and its flora and fauna.<\/p>\n

He witnessed the dawn of Kenya\u2019s population explosion, which challenged finite resources and stressed animal populations \u2013 including the starving elephants of Tsavo dying by the tens of thousands in a wasteland of eaten trees. So he documented what he saw \u2013 with diaries, photographs, and collages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He went against the wind in publishing unique and sometimes shocking books of these works, including\u00a0The End of the Game<\/em>. The corpses were laid bare; the facts were carefully recorded, sometimes in type and often by hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Beard used his photographs as a canvas on to which he superimposed multi-layered contact sheets, ephemera, found objects, newspaper clippings that are elaborately embellished with meticulous handwriting, old-master-inspired drawings, and often swaths of animal blood used as paint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
