Helmut Newton. Polaroids - Reviews (3)
| "Seeing this selection of Helmut Newton’s Polaroids gives us yet another reason to mourn the demise of film photography. Taken as test shots during fashion magazine shoots in the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties, the legendary German photographer’s snaps have been collated by his widow June into a fine book for TASCHEN. Newton once complained that he’d "photographed too many naked women" – an enviable predicament if there ever was one."— Esquire, United Kingdom |
| "La editorial TASCHEN acaba de publicar un volumen –y casi un diccionario de fotografía Polaroid – con 300 instantáneas que el artista realizó a modo de boceto conceptual para sus grandes encargos. El encanto, al fin y al cabo, de la técnica de visionado instantáneo. Las fotografías han sido donadas por June Newton, viuda del fotógrafo, ya que, tal y como ella explica en el prólogo del libro, son para verlo mejor, como el lobo a caperucita roja. Y es que la obra de Newton no solo permite ver por el ojo de la cerradura por el cual él observaba, sino que nos introduce en su particular visión de la mujer, el sexo y la alta sociedad."— ABC, Madrid, Spain |
| "Helmut Newton, Polaroids allows readers to go behind the scenes of iconic photo shoots as well as gain a rare insight into the creative direction and processes of a prolific lensman. While some of Newton’s Polaroids have sold for up to $50000, many still remain with his widow June Newton who pieced together the Polaroid collection for the book. Helmut Newton’s photos have been immortalized in many ways yet this publication gives both fashion and photography lovers a new way of experiencing the work of the celebrated photographer."— Theblock-mag.com, |
| "Luckily for us, legendary photographer Helmut Newton saved his test Polaroids, allowing a privileged and rare chance to see the tests from a selection of his greatest shoots over a period of decades, including many from the TASCHEN titles SUMO, A Gun for Hire, and Work. Selected by his widow, June Newton, from over 300 photos featured at the 2011 exhibition "Helmut Newton Polaroids" at the Museum für Fotografie in Berlin, this collection captures the magic of Helmut Newton photo shoots as only Polaroids can."— Fashioncopious.com, |
| "Por primera vez ven la luz 300 de las Polaroids del genial erotómano berlinés, que abarcan la mayor parte de su carrera. O, al menos, la más fecunda, ya que Newton comenzó a utilizar este formato a principios de los años 70, sobre todo para los encargos de iconos de la alta costura como Thierry Mugler o Yves Saint Laurent o para editoriales de moda en el Vogue francés, Paris Match, Stern o Focus Magazine. Una carrera sustentada en todo un universo de erotismo, perversión y juegos de seducción y dominación, pero filtrado por la elegancia que siempre caracterizó al mítico voyeur alemán. Para la ocasión, la editorial TASCHEN publicará un libro ad hoc'que complementa la exhibición, que amenaza con ser uno de los highlights del verano en Berlín."— El Mundo, Madrid, Spain |
