Peter Beard's 2 Volume Diaries masterpiece

Photographer, collector, diarist, and 60's socialite Peter Beard has fashioned his life into a work of art; the illustrated diaries he kept from a young age evolved into a serious career as an artist and earned him a central position in the international art world.

Peter Beard's most important collages are included here, along with hundreds of smaller-scale works and diaries, magnified to show every detail - from Beard's meticulous handwriting and old-masters-inspired drawings to stones and bones and bits of animals pasted to the page.

A masterpiece must-own.
