Past Event
Join author Andrew Ginger in conversation with Zorian Clayton, Curator of Prints, to celebrate the publication of Cecil Beaton in Love. Drawing on never-before-published photographs and intimate letters exchanged between Beaton and his final partner, Kinmont Hoitsma, the talk offers a rare glimpse into their relationship and Beaton’s journey towards greater self-acceptance. Together, Ginger and Clayton will explore Beaton’s extraordinary life and career, his artistic vision, and the love story that transformed his understanding of himself, illustrated throughout with images from the book.
