{"product_id":"david-bailey-david-bailey-9783865217080","title":"David Bailey: Eye","description":"As the title of David Bailey's earlier monograph \u003ci\u003eBailey's Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e suggests, the legendary British photographer likes to bring the same quality of attention to each of his subjects, irrespective of their fame or reputation: \"I treat the boy down at the post office like the president of Russia, and the president of Russia like the boy down at the post office.\" \u003ci\u003eDavid Bailey's Eye\u003c\/i\u003e presents a choice selection of Bailey's photographs--mostly in black-and-white, some in color--spanning the years between 1962 and 2008, the breadth of Bailey's career. His egalitarian stance, often indicated by a conspicuous absence of props and a minimal approach to lighting, enables the photographer to tease from his subjects traits which more formal portraits would lack: the warm benevolence of I.M. Pei for example, the exuberance of John Galliano or the brooding look of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Bailey's eye surveys the gamut of humankind, from celebrities to people far from celebrity orbits, examining each of his subjects for the moment when the person steps forward and becomes a great portrait. Among Bailey's better-known subjects in \u003ci\u003eEye\u003c\/i\u003e are Andy Warhol, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Yves Saint Laurent, John Huston and Ellsworth Kelly. With cover art (a painted eye) by Damien Hirst, this volume reveals unexpected facets of many of the creative minds who have defined the culture in which we live.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Bailey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3865217087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783865217080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.20h x 10.46w x 0.99d","brand":"David Bailey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47200995508479,"sku":"9783865217080","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d085963-36ff-4e90-84ed-33458dbf36ce.jpg?v=1756788522","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/david-bailey-david-bailey-9783865217080","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
