Mick Jagger
1964
David Bailey's portrait of Mick Jagger, taken in 1964, captures the Rolling Stones frontman at the height of the British Invasion with a direct and unflinching gaze that became iconic of 1960s rock and roll photography. Bailey's black and white photograph employs sharp focus and intimate framing to convey both the charisma and raw energy that defined Jagger's public persona. The image exemplifies Bailey's influential documentary style, which helped establish celebrity portraiture as a significant form of contemporary art during this transformative cultural period.
