Celebrated British photographer David Bailey is swapping his camera
for a paintbrush. Known since the swinging Sixties for his iconic
black and white portraits of The Beatles, Peter Sellers, Michael
Caine, Marianne Faithfull, Mick Jagger and London gangsters, the Kray
Brothers; and his decades of fashion work, Bailey’s new show of his
paintings, his first ever, is titled “Hitler Killed The Duck.”
Bailey was interviewed by Dazed Digital’s Sue-Wen Q:
Can you tell us the story behind the great title, ‘Hitler killed the Duck’?
David Bailey: The Germans bombed the cinema that I went to see Bambi
and cartoons in with a V2 rocket in 1944, so I thought Hitler had
killed all the Disney characters.
