Helmut Newton. Sex & Landscapes
Hardcover, 9.6 x 12.8 in., 2.81 lb, 112 pages
Photographer Helmut Newton is famous for his own distinct brand of glamour. This tantalizing publication juxtaposes his nude female portraits with a portfolio of landscapes: aerial views, travel snaps, and serene lakesides. In combination, these seemingly disparate genres expand our understanding of an artist whose work has always challenged the borders of fashion photography.
Danger and Decadence
Nude female portraits and landscapes
The collection Sex & Landscapes brings together a rich selection from Helmut Newton’s little-known landscape and travel photographs, as well as unseen “tougher” sex pictures, described by Philippe Garner of de Pury & Luxembourg as “Helmut’s world of dark, brooding seas, baroque statuary, crashing waves, a long desert highway under threatening skies, a Berlin park at dusk, enigmatic apartment buildings at night, the Rhine seen from the air, the shadows of airplanes, all this interwoven with hard and voyeuristic sexual imagery, plus a touch of his high style and glamour.”Helmut Newton.
