David Bailey, fashion Portraitist

It is mot the first time we talk about David Bailey. The British photographer ruled the fashion scene for more than 60 years. With his first Vogue cover in 1960, David Bailey was the leader artist of “Swinging London”, a cultural movement in the 60’s about modernism and youth.
This year the prestigious National Portrait Gallery dedicates one of the biggest photography exhibition in the honor of David Bailey with 250 portraits. It is called Bailey’s Stardust.

Richard Hamilton, Pop-Artist

Probably one of the founders of the Pop-art movement, Richard Hamilton did an impressive artistic work throughout several decades. He was at the origin of the first exhibition that launched Pop-Art in London: This is tomorrow in 1956. The iconic installation “Fun House” is the symbol of this new trend.

He was also the one behind the Beatles’s White Album cover. And for the record, he was the one organizing the first retrospective about Marcel Duchamp at the Tate Modern.
His personal artistic work is impressively rich and covered an amazing amount of explorations. The Tate exhibition covers the entire period from the 50’s to more recent work. It explores his relationship to several personal interests like design, painting, photography and television, as well as his engagement and collaborations with other incredible artists. The exhibition is running until May 24th, so you better hurry up.
