Background information, content
"Born in Berlin in 1920 and killed in an accident in Los Angeles in 2004, Helmut NEWTON, the grand master of sophisticated erotic photography, created an unprecedented bestseller and longseller with 'Big Nudes' and at the same time brought his aesthetic program to the point.
The series of black and white photographs taken between 1979 and 1981 heralded a change of style in his work at the time. The elaborate arrangements of luxury and decadence gave way to a clearly formulated and monumental statement: 'They are coming! Dressed only in the indispensable high heels, his Amazons confidently display themselves, flex their muscles and march in formation towards the viewer." (© Schirmer / Mosel Verlag, 2004)
