Helmut Newton: Portraits. Photographs from europe and america

A monumental collection of portraits by Helmut Newton – one of the most influential and controversial photographers of the 20th century, who revolutionized the aesthetics of modern fashion and nude photography. The publication, “Portraits: Photographs from Europe and America,” prepared by the renowned Munich-based Schirmer/Mosel publishing house, is a fascinating gallery of personalities from both continents, spanning the worlds of cinema, politics, fashion and art. Newton, the undisputed master of black-and-white composition, redefines the concept of portraiture in this album, combining cool elegance with provocation and psychological depth with a unique, almost cinematic atmosphere.

The album includes iconic images of such figures as Elizabeth Taylor, Salvador Dalí, Mick Jagger, Catherine Deneuve, Andy Warhol and Jack Nicholson. Each photograph is a separate story of power, beauty and human nature, captured through the eye of an artist whose work has become an enduring part of the modern art canon. This is a must-have item for art photography collectors, fashion historians and lovers of sophisticated design.
