About the Book:
Peter Beard made his life in Africa into a Gesamtkunstwerk – a unique collage of photography, diary entries, and environmental activism. This XL edition shows the artist's entire world: from haute couture models under the Kenyan sun to elephant carcasses documenting the destruction of nature. Beard's collages reflect personal experiences as well as the changes of his time.
