In later years, Mr. Beard became famous for embellishing his photographic prints with ink and blood — either human his own or animal from a butcher — yielding complex, cryptic, multilayered surfaces. He was also known for the idiosyncratic, genre-bending diaries that he had kept since he was a boy — profuse assemblages of words, Peter Beard and found objects like stones, feathers, train Peter Beard and toenail clippings — and for the large, even more profuse collages to which the diaries later gave wing. But as renowned as he was for his work he received solo exhibitions at the International Center of Photography in Manhattan, the Centre National de la Photographie in Paris and elsewhereMr. Beard remained at least as well known for his swashbuckling, highly public private life. Had Mr. Beard not already existed, he might well have been the result of a collaborative brain wave by Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Paul Bowles. He was matinee-idol handsome and, as an heir to a Peter Beard, wealthy long before his photographs began selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars apiece. He had well-documented romances with many of them, including Candice Bergen and Lee Radziwillthe sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Beard told the British newspaper The Observer in Peter Beard discovered one supermodel, Iman, and spun a fabulous legend about her origins. He was married for a time to another, Cheryl Tiegs. He seemed to possess the indefatigability of a half-dozen men, and well into old age routinely reveled until dawn, his escapades becoming grist for gossip columnists worldwide.

He later bought 45 acres in the countryside outside Nairobi, abutting the coffee farm on which Ms. Blixen had lived. While a few reviewers took him to task for his seemingly uncritical embrace of the romance of the great white hunter, most praised his dynamic photographs and arresting thesis: that the game preserves meant to safeguard elephants were unintentionally contributing to their destruction.

He introduced her to Wilhelmina Models, the New York agency, and her career was born. Presenting Iman to the American news media, Mr. Beard gleefully spun an imperial fantasy: that he had come upon her herding cattle in the African bush.

Nejma Beard filed for divorce in the mids, but the couple reconciled after the attack and remained married. Besides his wife, Peter Beard is survived by a daughter, Zara; a granddaughter, and his brothers, Anson Jr. As Mr. Beard aged, the opinions he voiced freely in interviews sounded increasingly out of step with 21st-century sensibilities.

  • Collages by Peter Beard, Featuring Collages Made by Beard in 2013, Incorporating and Inspired by Some of the Best-Known Photographs from Parks’ Legendary Career
    The Gordon Parks Foundation is proud to present Gordon Parks: Collages by Peter Beard, featuring collages made by Beard in 2013, incorporating and inspired by some of the best-known photographs from Parks’ legendary career. Friends and colleagues, these two pioneering figures shared an abiding interest in the power of photography to bring public attention to injustice, and to inspire passion for social change. Beard and Parks were friends and colleagues, mutual admirers from the moment they met through their agent, Peter Schub. In the early 1960s, Parks was an editorial magazine photographer for LIFE and Beard did some work for Diana Vreeland at VOGUE while he was studying art at Yale. Among their earliest interactions, Parks enlisted Beard as a model for a fashion shoot…”Peter Pan in Central Park.” But their shared respect went deeper, resting on their common interest in using the camera as a tool to address social and environmental problems. Parks’ empathetic picture stories brought wide public attention to the lives of the poor and marginalized, while Beard’s searing photographs of Kenya’s Tsavo wilderness, soon to be published in The End of the Game: The Last Word from Paradise, told the harrowing story of East Africa’s despoiled ecosystem and the endangerment of its wildlife. “Gordon was unstoppable,” Beard recalls. “And he was an amazing diplomat. At one of the most difficult times in African-American history, he was a soldier… a veritable ‘Jackie Robinson’ of the media world. Three words sum it all up for him: authenticity, atmosphere, and feeling.” The Beard collages featured in the exhibition include photographs from throughout Parks’ career, and were made in homage to the famous African-American photojournalist.
