A man of many parts, Peter Beard is an adventurer, a fanatical diarist, artist, photographer, bon vivant, father and husband. His forays into Kenya are legend. Since the early 1960’s Peter Beard’s life and work have been inextricably entwined with the fate of the wildlife and peoples of Africa. His diaries and collage overflow with graphic images of a world that has almost disappeared from view. The inimitable records and documents he has crafted act as exquisite time capsules and will become valuable social documents of the beauty and contradictions of the world we live in today.
