Helmut Newton Portraits

Newton's collection of portraits from the worlds of film, fashion, politics, and culture can be considered a pantheon of VIPs. But his work is a lot more besides. From his portraits, one can see that he would have most liked to be a Roman paparazzo--as he once admitted. Anyone who had a portrait made by him knew what the result would by, and by the 1980s there were absolutely no 'beautiful people' in this world who did not want to be photographed by him! In front of his camera, both men and women peeled off their covers--literally as well as figuratively. His brilliant staged creations celebrate the attractiveness and prominence of his models as well as their vanity and imperfections. Newton's top-quality work for major fashion journals and elitist art magazines is likewise first-class erotic art. This collection was first published by us in 1985.Honnef, Klaus is the author of 'Helmut Newton Portraits', published 2004 under ISBN 9783829601313 and ISBN 382960131X.
