As the title of David Bailey's earlier monograph Bailey's Democracy 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." David Bailey's Eye 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 Eye 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.
