Description

Helmut Newton is a comprehensive collection of the photographer's work, showcasing his sophisticated and provocative images that continue to be relevant today. The book features an insightful introduction and a detailed biographical chronology, providing a wide-ranging and impactful portfolio of Newton's photography. Newton's images straddle the knife-edge of ambiguity, teasing out allusions and social observations that both entice and challenge their viewers. His unique perspective is effectively showcased, reflecting the complex undercurrents that give his images their distinct character. This portfolio reveals Newton's evolution into a contrarian, a savvy and mischievous cynic, whose lens framed contentious yet pivotal aspects of high fashion and high society in the latter decades of the twentieth century. The book features a range of Newton's most iconic images, including those of luminaries of society, film, and fashion, immortalized in opulent settings that showcase his distinctive style.
