From Paris and London to New York and Hollywood, the period following the Great War offered the modern woman a completely new style of dressing. With over 150 garments and accessories from a major private collection, this stunning selection of sportswear, printed day dresses, fringed flapper dresses, beaded evening wear, velvet capes, kimonos and silk pyjamas reveals the glamour, excess, frivolity and modernity of the decade. The exhibition focuses not only on high-end couture but also on the ready-made. It offers a reassessment of the 1920s by showcasing the wide variety of clothing and accessories available to the modern woman, not just the drop-waisted flapper dress immediately associated with the era. Throughout, the exhibition highlights the decade’s changing silhouette including the straighter less exaggerated shape, promoted by haute couture designers such as Lucile and Paul Poiret since the pre-war years, the rising hemline and clothes designed to 1 allow free movement.

  • Environmental Faust Succumbs to Temptations of Economic Mephistopheles, Or, Value by Any Other Name Is Preference
    ENVIRONMENTAL FAUST SUCCUMBS TO TEMPTATIONS OF ECONOMIC MEPHISTOPHELES, OR, VALUE BY ANY OTHER NAME IS PREFERENCE Carol M. Rose* THE ECONOMY OF THE EARTH: PHILOSOPHY, LAW, AND THE ENVI- RONMENT. By Mark Sagoff. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. 1988. Pp. x, 271. $29.95. In several of the chapters to his new book, Mark Sagoff begins by telling some story to frame the remainder. One of these is particularly significant for the book: Sagoff retells a New Yorker joke in which the Devil tells the new entrants to Hell that they are leaving right and wrong behind, and entering a world of mere preferences (p. 99). The Devil signifies for Sagoff the economics-oriented policy analyst, and the story is prophetic because by the end of the book, that old prefer- ence-counting Devil has caught up with Sagoff. The word "environment" appeared in the titles of several of the earlier essays on which-the book is based,' but the book has wisely subordinated that E-word to a subtitle; despite the frequent invocation of natural wonders and scenic areas, the book doesn't really focus on the environment until the last chapter. Nope, this book is about that other E-word, Economics, which is so favored by the Devil. More specifically, at least until that last chapter, the book is about how dev- ilishly daffy economists are when they talk about the environment. Sagoff thinks their clever confusions are at best distracting and at worst antidemocratic (pp. 10, 95-97), and if we don't watch out, they are going to lead us off the ethical path and straight down the road to perdition.

  • What Is Causation?
    What is Causation? Stathis Psillos INTRODUCTION When we philosophers think about causation we are primarily interested in what causation is what exactly is the relation between cause and effect? Or, more or less equivalently, how and in virtue of what is the cause connected to the effect? But we are also interested in an epistemic issue, viz., the possibility of causal knowledge: how, if at all, can causal knowledge be obtained? The two issues are, of course, conceptually distinct but to many thinkers, there is a connection between them. A metaphysical account of causation would be useless if it did not make, at least in principle, causal knowledge possible. Conversely, many philosophers, mostly of an empiricist persuasion, have taken the possibility of causal knowledge to act as a constraint on the metaphysics of causation: no feature that cannot in principle become the object of knowledge can be attributed to causation. As we shall see, though philosophers have thought about causation for ages, there is hardly an agreement as to what causation is. Perhaps, this is reason enough to be sceptical about the whole prospect for a single and unified metaphysical account of causation. Perhaps, what we are trying to figure out causation is not one single condition with a determinate nature. But this crisis in the foundations of causation is no reason for despair. After all, we can know a lot about what causes what without knowing what causation is or better, without being committed to the view that causation is one single thing in the world. Causation is too precious to be given up.

  • Cecil Beaton (1904–80) Was One of the Great Creative Figures of the British Twentieth Century
    Access Guide Please return at the end of your visit We hope this guide supports your visit. Please speak to any member of staff for more information. VERSION 2 Map Entrance Contents TBC Introduction Cecil Beaton (1904–80) was one of the great creative figures of the British twentieth century. Chiefly known as a photographer of portraits and fashion, through his work for Vogue magazine from 1924 to 1979, he was also recognised as a significant war photographer. An illustrator and caricaturist, a writer and commentator on taste and manners, Beaton was a theatre designer and art director of world renown and an influential stylist of his own homes. This exhibition focuses on Beaton’s early years. Born in Hampstead to a then prosperous timber merchant, Ernest Beaton and his wife Esther (‘Etty’), Cecil was first given a camera in 1914, aged ten. His first subjects were his mother and his willing sisters, Nancy and Barbara (‘Baba’). His transformation from middle-class suburban schoolboy to dazzling society figure against the backdrop of the Roaring Twenties and the Age of Jazz revealed a social mobility barely thinkable before the First World War. Here, then, are the Bright Young Things who brought an extraordinary era vividly to life and in so doing, nurtured and refined a remarkable photographic talent. The strength of his singular vision is such that, when we think of the Bright Young Things, we think of them in Beaton’s costumes, through Beaton’s lens and as Beaton’s friends. For full details of all events please see the What’s On guide or npg.org.uk/events Friday 20 March, 19.00 Lecture ‘When I die I want to go to Vogue’: Cecil Beaton’s Most Enduring Patron with Robin Muir Curator Robin Muir looks at the Cecil Beaton’s long working relationship with Vogue.

  • Beaton, Sir Cecil (1904-1980) by Patricia Juliana Smith
    Beaton, Sir Cecil (1904-1980) by Patricia Juliana Smith Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Sir Cecil Walter Hardy Beaton, the celebrated photographer of cultural icons and royalty, was born in Hampstead, London, on January 14, 1904, the eldest son of a prosperous timber merchant. He was educated at Harrow and Cambridge, where he excelled in art and first became involved with photography as a hobby. Beaton left Cambridge, where his interests had been more social than academic, without a degree in 1921, and set about making a career in photography while working as a clerk in London. His photography came to the attention of Edith Sitwell, one of his first sitters, and through her patronage and that of her brothers Sacheverell and Osbert, he found an entry into the world of the Modernist illuminati, the social and artistic figures he so greatly admired. Beaton gained public notice with his innovative portrait photos of glamorous individuals placed in unusual poses with theatrical props or costumes, as well as for his use of double and triple exposures for unique effects. Some early critics found his work fragile, precious, and chi-chi, but, at the same time, provocative and witty. In retrospect, his often facile portraits might be considered manifestations of camp. In 1928, in hopes of making a fast fortune, he traveled to New York, where he was befriended by lesbian socialite Elsie de Wolfe and soon had many American film and stage stars among his clientele. During this period, much of his time and energy was devoted to travel and an extravagant social life, yet he found time for drawings, photographs, and articles for publication in such glossy magazines as Vanity Fair, Vogue, Life, and Harper's Bazaar.
