What do flowers, skulls and contact sheets have in common? Not much you might think, but David Bailey begs to differ. This book combines Baileys recent colour photographs of still-life flowers and skulls, with black and white contacts of his iconic celebrity portraiture and fashion work from the 1960s. One might analyze Baileys combination of these bodies of work in light of the vanitas tradition, seeing it as a commentary on mortality and the passing of time. Indeed such a reading is tempting when comparing images of wilting roses with contacts of Brian Jones and John Lennon, both of whom appear confident in the prime of youth, unaware of the fates that will befall them. But perhaps this is too much, and Bailey himself would probably tell you so. For him, the flowers, skulls and contacts are simply different projects that he was working on simultaneously and decided to combine because he likes the idea of eclectic collections. Enough said. David Bailey, born in London in 1938, is one of the most successful photographers of his generation. By the 1960s his work, especially for Vogue, had already made him a cult figure. His numerous books include Trouble and Strife, Nudes, If We Shadows, The Lady Is a Tramp and David Baileys Rock n Roll Heroes. Steidl has published Baileys Democracy, Havana, NY JS DB 62, Pictures That Mark Can Do, Is That So Kid, EYE, and 8 Minutes. Exhibition: Hamiltons Gallery, London, June 2010.
