To be one of the poorest nations on Earth, almost within spitting distance of the richest makes the poverty of Cuba seem more extreme. Two countries with extreme ideologies; the small one proving that Communism does not work, the other proving that democratic paranoia does work if the power and the money are in place. Havana makes use of Bailey’s mastery of the full range of the medium’s many genres, from vibrant street reportage to crystalline portraiture. This is Havana as an icon of one of the most distinct and revealing cultural divides left in a world hurtling toward homogeneity, Havana as seen by a master at the height of his craft.

He finds the best in most things. To explain more would be too much. These are just pictures that Mark can do.' Photographer David Bailey is famously a bit more mercurial than the assistant of his title-a massive social force in the 1960s world of Twiggy, Catherine Deneuve, the Beatles and the Who, and a model for the lead in Blow Up. But while he is a master in his medium, he readily accepts that photography is technologically-driven and democratic, and that many family compositions have been taken millions of times, varying only in the identities of their subjects. Bailey also takes such snapshots, images with unusual ease and freedom for him but unusual weight for their ilk. In compiling them, he observed that they seem so easy that even Mark, his assistant, could make them, and the quip became his title. Which is not to say that he doesn’t value these photos very highly: Asked to name his best picture in a recent interview, he answered, 'Snaps of my kids.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Bailey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55042510815559,"sku":"9783865213679","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/2420\/3079\/files\/bildschirmfoto_2015-04-10_um_13-21-23.png?v=1789563527"},{"product_id":"david-bailey-flowers-skulls-contacts","title":"David Bailey - Flowers, Skulls, Contacts","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat do flowers, skulls and contact sheets have in common?

Not much you might think, but David Bailey begs to differ. This book combines Bailey’s 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 Bailey’s 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 Bailey’s Rock ’n’ Roll Heroes. Steidl has published Bailey’s Democracy, Havana, NY JS DB 62, Pictures That Mark Can Do, Is That So Kid, EYE, and 8 Minutes.
