Commissioned by the best-known fashion magazines of the time, including Italian and French Vogue, these portraits of what Vogue once called 'The Bailey Kind of Girl' include models such as Jean Shrimpton, Marie Helvin, Penelope Tree, and Bailey's wife, Catherine Dyer. Blended with these are Bailey's startling ethnographic portraits of, for example, Asaro mud men and Indian dancers, and his own paintings, at the heart of which lies an abstract kind of beauty. In his illuminating introduction, Robin Muir sets these photographs in the context of the period in which they were taken and reminds us that for over forty years Bailey has challenged our notions of female beauty with his own highly personal vision.

Camera artistry that captures a memory of the moment,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: David Bailey: Chasing Rainbows (Hardcover)
David Bailey, who is probably Britain's best known photographer, especially for his "beauty" photographs of the world's most famous models. David Bailey: Chasing Rainbows is an impressive and memorable photographic compilation with over 150 color illustrations, showcasing Bailey's life's work from the 1960s to the present. Amazing, bold camera artistry that captures a memory of the moment abounds in this stunning, visual album.
