Palazzo Reale Di Milano; Peter H. Beard; Peter T. Tunney

Synopsis:
Photographer Peter Beard has, throughout his phenomenal career, illuminated many themes of great importance to Western man, among them the undefinable attraction to the African continent poignantly described by his friend, Karen Blixen. Over the years, Beard has documented the danger of annihilation that threatens both the nature and the cultures of Africa. This remarkable visual volume chronicles that world in a series of Beard's fashion shoots, works of unparalleled beauty that depict Africa as more than an exotic background -- seen through Beard's eyes, it becomes a vibrant, pulsating element of contemporary culture. Peter Beard has been photographing animals and entertaining visitors in Africa for 20 years, and has been described as everything from a jet-set adventurer to an idealist of noble sentiments.
