Images is composed of sixty images by Beaton, created using an experimental technique of superimposing the same negative multiple times onto the print. The original photograph becomes blurred and multiplied, and a new image is created, pulsing with an inner life. Beaton experimented with portraits selected from his archive of negatives. Sitters given the Images-effect include Laurence Olivier, Fonteyn and Nureyev, Picasso, W.H. Auden, Albert Finney, Edith Sitwell, Francis Bacon, Mary McCarthy, Stravinsky, T.S. Eliot, Truman Capote, Greta Garbo, Maria Callas, Giacometti and Lucian Freud. Landscapes, Kabuki actors, nudes, sheep, sun flowers and potatoes are also visually manipulated. Edith Sitwell provides the preface and Christopher Isherwood writes the introduction. Beaux Books specialises in fine and rare books on art and culture in the 20th and 21st centuries.
