Helmut Newton. Legacy - Tashen - Virtually unparalleled in scope for over five decades, the photography of the visionary Helmut Newton (1920-2004) has reached millions of people thanks to publication in magazines such as Vogue and Elle. His work has transcended genres, bringing elegance, style and voyeurism to fashion, portrait and glamorous photography through a body of work that remains as inimitable as it is unparalleled. Newton's clear aesthetic pervades all areas of his work, especially fashion, portraiture and nude photography. Women take center stage, with subjects such as Catherine Deneuve, Liz Taylor and Charlotte Rampling. Overcoming traditional narrative approaches, Newton's fashion photography is imbued not only with luxurious elegance and subtle seduction, but also with cultural references and a surprising sense of humor. -English language - pages: 424
