Sartorial strength: Helmut Newton in the leading fashion magazines
Helmut Newton, master of late 20th-century fashion photography, always considered theprinted page the most important factor to his work. It was, he explained, in the framework of an editorial or advertising commission, that he found his inspiration, and produced his best shots.
Joining the prestigious roster of TASCHENs Helmut Newton titles, including Sex & Landscapes,World without Men, and the much coveted Helmut Newton SUMO, this fresh edition ofPages from the Glossies gathers the most eminent and interesting examples of Helmut Newtons work for magazines across Europe and the United States. Facsimiles ofmore than 500 original spreads from the likes of Elle, Amica, and above all,Vogue follow Newtons ongoing ability to break the boundaries of his genre andthe interaction of his unique, daring, pictures with typography and layout.
In lively personal anecdotes alongside the spreads, Newton talks through the inspirations and informal moments behind some of his most memorable images. We follow him scouting models, setting up a shot with the captain of a nuclear submarine, collaborating with Anna Wintour, and negotiating between different cultural attitudes towards the nude.
