Certo, conosci l'Italia, i suoi cipressi, la torre di Pisa, il golfo di Napoli e quasi tutti i monumenti di Roma. Hai già fatto un viaggio a Venezia, come Musset e George Sand e come tanti altri amanti prima di te. In breve, hai visto cosa hanno dipinto i pittori, cosa hanno fotografato i fotografi e hai letto venti romanzi in Italia. Ma alla fine.. il viaggio in Italia non è mai finito.E siamo sempre innamorati, felici, conquistati dal "sentimento di felicità" di cui parla Stendhal e che dice di non aver "trovato altrove". Attraversa le Alpi alla fine dell'inverno e raggiungi Torino; siediti in questi caffè dove Nietzsche, Puccini o Cavour ti hanno lasciato l'indirizzo: avrai già una piccola idea della felicità italiana. Poi vai ai grandi laghi, alle Isole Borromee, a Como: in questo periodo dell'anno, è una vera primavera giapponese, imbalsamata con fiori d'arancio e pesca. A meno che tu non voglia trascorrere la primavera a Firenze? Stefan Zweig conferma che è solo a maggio che il cielo di Firenze ha "il blu delicato dei preraffaelliti". Arrivi a Roma e, come Henry James, non vorrai andartene, o almeno vorrai tornare "a tutti i costi!" Ma se - come Maurice Barres - ti aspetti dall'Italia "tremori", allora, parti per Napoli; scalare il Vesuvio, scoprire la strana regione dei campi flegrei, dove la terra "respira" ... e attraversa lo stretto di Messina, tra Cariddi e Scilla. Goditi una sosta dorata a Venezia lungo l'Adriatico: respira l'aria cristallina di Trieste, ancora spazzata dalla Bora; a Bari, unisciti alla Santa Russia riunita attorno alla tomba di San Nicola; fai una sosta a Brindisi, come Phileas annebbiando il suo "World Tour", e vai a Otranto, che già tocca l'Oriente. Infine, realizza i tuoi sogni dell'Italia E scopri l'Italia dei tuoi sogni seguendo, attraverso queste pagine, i viaggiatori che ti hanno preceduto lì e che sono un'ottima compagnia: Colette, Chalres Dickens, Alexandre Dumas , André Gide, Jean Giono.

The definitive book on the legendary photographer's life in New York City, with many never-before-seen images and reminiscences by his closest friends and confidants.   From the 1930s, when he helped revolutionize fashion journalism, through the 1960s, when he launched headlong into the Pop art era, London-based photographer Cecil Beaton brought to New York City his own perspective--aristocratic, sexually ambiguous, and theatrical. At the same time, New York offered Beaton innumerable opportunities to reinvent himself and his career.Cecil Beaton: The New York Years features sketches, costumes, set designs, previously unpublished letters, and over 220 photographs and drawings, many in color and never seen before. This volume documents Beaton's most influential relationships with quintessential figures of the New York art scene, including Greta Garbo, his female confidant and muse, and Andy Warhol. Richly illustrated, Cecil Beaton is the definitive portfolio chronicling Beaton's stunning career in fashion, portraiture, and the performing arts.Beaton in Vogue: Beaton's photography for Condé Nast's Vogue in the 1930s hastened the decline of fashion illustration in favor of today's emphasis on photography. Beaton himself became a celebrity photographer, as famous as his subjects, in the later mold of Richard Avedon and Annie Leibovitz.Beaton and the Stage: After World War II, Beaton appeared on the New York stage as an actor, and he also designed sets and costumes for such musicals as My Fair Lady and Coco and operas Vanessa and La Traviata, both at the Metropolitan Opera. Beaton on New York: Beaton produced many illustrated books on New York City and his tell-all diaries detailed his life among the city's best-known figures. Beaton was also commissioned to produce innumerable photographs of New Yorkers, from Truman Capote to Tom Wolfe.Beaton on Garbo: Greta Garbo was Beaton's closest female friend  She was also his muse, and his photographs captured her in many different scenarios and moods from the mid-1940s, when she ended her Hollywood career and permanently moved to New York.Beaton on Warhol: In 1968, Beaton was advised to photograph a group of young New Yorkers, the most famous of which was Andy Warhol and his Factory. In effect, this photo shoot charted the passing of the torch from Beaton to Warhol, two figures who defined their era's concepts of popular culture, celebrity, and sexual mores.
