Bath Bathroom Beaton Cecil Decorations Designer Friend Friends Hands Photographer Wiltshire
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the unique and whimsical decor of Cecil Beaton's bath-room at his country home in Wiltshire, England, dating back to 1934. Renowned for his exceptional talent as a photographer, costume designer, and writer, Beaton's personal residence was a reflection of his eclectic and creative spirit. The bath-room's walls are adorned with the imprints of the hands of his esteemed friends, each one leaving a permanent mark of their presence in this intimate space. The hands, belonging to figures such as the Duchess of Windsor, Greta Garbo, and Noel Coward, add a personal touch to the otherwise ordinary bathroom. The decorative hands, each with its unique shape and texture, create an intriguing visual display that speaks to the close relationships Beaton shared with these influential individuals. The country house, nestled in the picturesque Wiltshire countryside, served as a sanctuary for Beaton, providing him with inspiration and solace. The bath-room, in particular, appears to have been a place of relaxation and reflection, where Beaton could surround himself with the memories and company of his cherished friends. The hands on the walls serve as a testament to the enduring bonds he formed throughout his remarkable career and life. This photograph offers a glimpse into the intimate world of Cecil Beaton, revealing the playful and personal side of the renowned artist and designer. The hands on the walls of his bath-room at his Wiltshire home remain a fascinating and enchanting decorative element that continues to captivate and intrigue.
