Shirley Bassey

McBEAN, Angus (McBean began his career in the theatre as mask-maker and scenery designer before turning to full-time theatre photography. McBean is renowned for his theatrical and inventive photography of the 1930s and 1940s. Imitated throughout his career, his influence especially in advertising is still prominent today. In 1935 he opened his own studio; and his prominent style was soon being published in glossy magazines. The Surrealist Exhibition in 1936 was an influence on McBean's theatrical portraits. After the Second World War he opened a larger studio in Covent Garden, and in the 1940s and 1950s was inundated with commissions from theatre companies. In the 1960s McBean photographed the Beatles for their first album.)

Roedd yr artist o Gymru, Angus McBean, yn adnabyddus am ei ffotograffiaeth theatrig a dyfeisgar yn y 1930au a'r 1940au. Cyfrannodd ei yrfa fel dylunydd setiau a'i ddiddordeb mewn swrrealaeth at ei arddull ffotografffig unigryw, a'i wneud yn un o ffotograffwyr portreadau mwyaf poblogaidd yr 20fed ganrif. Dyma ffotograff o'r gantores enwog o Fae Teigr, Shirley Bassey.
