 New Statesman - Beautiful and damned
These are by far the most moving images in "The Beautiful and the Damned", a new exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery; whereas the celebrity portraits merely add to what we already know of the subjects' lives and works, a picture of a Bedlam patient is the only testament of a lost soul.
These two functions correspond to the "damned" and the "beautiful" of the exhibition title, the former being the dark reverse of the latter's celebration of progress and nobility - functions that are very much alive today in the form of inner-city surveillance and Hello!
Early photography - with its head-clamps and its need for absolute stillness - was very much something to which one was subjected, and the long exposure times were notorious for giving even the most benign characters a slightly monstrous aspect.

 The Beautiful and the Damned, The Creation of Identity in Nineteenth-Century Photography
The Beautiful and the Damned looks for the first time at the broad social and cultural context for the development of portrait photography in the nineteenth century, showing how social and celebrity portraiture on the one hand, and scientific photography on the other, were different facets of the nineteenth-century fascination with classification and ordering.

Within five years came the slight The Beautiful and the Damned, about the excesses of the idle rich he'd met there; and then, improbably, in 1925, The Great Gatsby, perhaps the most perfect short novel in the English language.
His father was a failed businessman from Maryland, and as a child Scott was encouraged to nurture a wistful romanticism about the American South, with its faded elegance, genteel old families and confederate honour.
He nurtured, too, a cult of doomed youth, whereby to be young and beautiful (and certainly rich) was to be most fully alive, and to be old was nothing.

 Notes: The Beautiful and Damned
In The Beautiful and Damned, F. Scott Fitzgerald continues his tradition of painting pictures of fallen castles, of psychological riches to rags, in a novel that joins his typical talent for description with a well-constructed plot.
Beautiful things grow to a certain height and then they fail and fade off, breathing out memories as they decay.
Gloria doesn't seem to be saying that only loss brings real appreciation; instead, it seems she's saying that true enjoyment only comes with a realization that things are only temporary, that any feeling of immortality brings with it a feeling of boredom — a typical Gloria-related mood in its own right.
