David Bailey - Changing Rainbows + Trouble and Strife - 1983-2002

David Bailey
Changing Rainbows + Trouble and Strife

Commissioned by the most notable fashion magazines of the era, including Vogue Italia and France, these portraits of what Vogue defined as "the Bailey girl" include models such as Jean Shrimpton, Marie Helvin, Penelope Tree and Bailey's wife, Catherine Dyer. Added to these are Bailey's striking ethnographic portraits, for example of the Asaro mud men and Indian dancers, and his paintings, at the center of which lies a kind of abstract beauty. In his enlightening introduction, Robin Muir situates 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 very personal vision.
