Photographer, fashion illustrator, Oscar-winning costume designer, social caricaturist, and writer Cecil Beaton (1904–1980) was an extraordinary force in the twentieth-century British and American creative scenes. This is the first exhibition dedicated to Beaton’s fashion and portrait photography, which he elevated into an art form. This exhibition showcases Beaton at his most triumphant – from shaping the public image of the “Bright Young Things” (a group of exuberant and artistically inclined socialites in 1920s London) to fashion photography for "Vogue" and other magazines, his vital role as photographer in World War II, and his reinvention of royal portraiture for the modern age, to award-winning costume and set designs for "My Fair Lady" on stage and screen. Via London, Paris, New York, and Hollywood, his era-defining photographs captured beauty, glamour, and star power in the interwar and early post-war eras. "Cecil Beaton’s Fashionable World" features portraits of some of the twentieth century’s most iconic and glamorous figures, including Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marlon Brando; Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret; as well as stars of the artistic and literary scenes, Truman Capote, Francis Bacon, and Salvador Dalí. This exhibition is organized by The National Portrait Gallery, London, and presented by The San Diego Museum of Art. The San Diego Museum of Art on Facebook / Instagram

The B-17 Flying Fortress became an icon of American air power in World War II, but its legacy is written by the stories of the crews who flew it. In "10 Good Men," ten veterans recount their experiences from across the full span of the air war in Europe. Pilots, navigators, bombardiers, and gunners speak candidly about their missions, training, and survival—some shot down and captured, others completing dozens of sorties. Structured chronologically, the film traces the Allied air campaign's evolution: early daylight raids met with huge losses, the arrival of long-range fighter escorts, the evolution of German flak and fighter strategies, and the final push that helped the Allies win the war. The narrative builds through the veterans themselves—men reflecting, eight decades later, on what they endured, what it cost, and why it matters today. Supported by newly restored archival footage from both American and German archives, original photography, and modern interviews, "10 Good Men" documents both the machinery of war and the humanity behind it. It serves as a testament to a generation now in its final years and to the role they played in defining the course of history. Digital Gym Cinema on Facebook / Instagram
