The late Canadian photographer Roloff Beny (1924-1984) achieved an international reputation for his lavishly produced photo-illustrated books. His photographic and manuscript archives were donated to the National Archives of Canada by his estate. Within the collection there was a virtually unknown group of approximately 500 portrait sittings taken between 1956 and 1983.

His photographs record the leading figures in the worlds of dance, opera, music, literature, cinema, theatre, fashion and politics.

This exhibition was made possible by the Ford Motor Company and through the support of the Roloff Beny Foundation.
