More information

Florence Vivienne Mellish (1889-1982), known simply as "Vivienne," took up photography in 1934 to assist her husband, the artist Ernest Entwistle, and their photographer son, Antony Beauchamp. Beauchamp's marriage to Sarah Churchill in 1949 brought his mother into the Churchill circle. "Vivienne" photographed Winston Churchill at her studio in 1950 and this image became Churchill's official portrait as Prime Minister. Over 200 "Vivienne" works are today in the National Portrait Gallery.
