Fashion, editorial, and personal photographs meet in this extensive Helmut Newton portfolio, including some of his most striking shots from the ’60s through to his golden heyday. From shadowy streets to hotel boudoir, it’s a showcase of Newton’s suggestive storytelling and unfailing eye for erotic impact.

Helmut Newton (1920–2004) is remembered as one of the most prolific photographers of the 20th century, channeling the sensuality and erotic power of his subjects with panache, precision, and impact.

From shadowy street to hotel boudoir, it’s a collection that showcases Newton’s suggestive storytelling throughout his fashion, editorial, or personal pictures.

Творчество Хельмута Ньютона многогранно и разнообразно. В 1960-е годы оно считалось шокирующим и провокационным, а в наши дни Ньютон снискал репутацию фотографа, способного изображать женщину такой, какая она есть. Это женщина нового тысячелетия, которая принимает собственные решения, а не следует воле других, наслаждается собственным телом и единолично распоряжается им, женщина, уверенная в себе и страстная. Хельмут Ньютон – певец сюрреализма, привнесший в современность дыхание Берлина 1920-х годов. Его фотографии изображают наши тайные страхи и желания, они полны тонкой театральности и изысканного декаданса. Модная фотография, обнаженная натура, портрет – вот три категории, на которые Хельмут Ньютон разделял свои работы. Его съемки для рекламы и модных журналов всегда находились на грани приемлемого для широкой публики и вызывали самые противоречивые реакции: от восхищения до проклятий.

Let the ladies shine. From Newton's formative years to his rise to the top

Taken between the mid-1960s and early 1980s, this selection of Newton fashion editorials - one of the first books he ever published - is accompanied by journal entry-style texts by Newton providing anecdotes and describing the circumstances of each shoot. On every page is evidence of Newton‘s groundbreaking vision that transformed fashion photography - an influence that can still be seen today in the pages of the greatest fashion magazines.

In his monumental nudes of the early 80s, Helmut Newton shocked the world with a new image of women: self-assured, powerfully staged, and closer to the aesthetics of body building than fashion and luxury, Newton’s women flex their muscles in a high-heels “Here we come.” Here this Newton classic comes in a new reprint.

About the photographer:

Helmut Newton (1920-2004) was one of the most influential fashion photographers of all time. Born in Berlin, he arrived in Australia in 1940 and married June Brunell (a.k.a. Alice Springs) eight years later. He achieved international fame in the 1970`s while working principally for French Vogue, and over the next three decades, his celebrity and influence continued to grow. Eschewing studios, for the most part, Newton preferred to shoot in the streets or in interiors. His mixture of controversial scenarios, bold lighting, and striking compositions came to form his signature look. In 1990 he was awarded the "Grand Prix National" for photography; in 1992 was awarded by the German government "Das Grosse Verdienstkreuz" for his services to German culture and was appointed "Officer des Arts, Lettres et Sciences" by S.A.S. Princess Caroline of Monaco. In 1996, he was appointed "Commandeur de l`Ordre des Arts et des Lettres" by Philippe Douste-Blazy, the French Minister of Culture. Working and living in close companionship with his wife until his death at 83, through his last click of the shutter he continued to be as distinctive and influential as ever.

Pola Woman is a representative selection of polaroids from over twenty years of Helmut Newton's professional work in the fields of fashion, advertising, and erotic photography.

Newton’s collection of portraits from the worlds of film, fashion, politics and culture can be considered a pantheon of VIP’s. But his work is a lot more besides. From his portraits, one can see that he would have most liked to be a Roman paparazzo – as he once admitted. Anyone who had a portrait made by him knew what the result would be, and by the 1980s there were absolutely no ‘beautiful people’ in this world who did not want to be photographed by him! In front of his camera, both men and women peeled off their covers – literally as well as figuratively. His brilliant staged creations celebrate the attractiveness and prominence of his models as well as their vanity and imperfections. Newton’s top-quality work for major fashion journals and elitist art magazines is likewise first-class erotic art. This collection was first published in 1985.

Хельмут Ньютон, один из крупнейших мастеров современной фотографии моды, «жрец эротической светописи», известнейший портретист бомонда, отразивший в своем творчестве многие мифы коллективного бессознательного, он создавал фотографические образы потрясающей силы.
К 80-м годах прошлого века не было ни одного представителя бомонда, который не мечтал бы оказаться перед его объективом.
Данное издание - знаменитая книга Хельмута Ньютона, в которой собраны портреты звезд кино, моды и политики.

Through their inimitable mixture of eroticism, subdued elegance and decadent luxury, Newton’s pictures reflect in the highest aesthetic quality an obsession with human vanity – from female exhibitionism to male voyeurism. With technical perfection, an extremely detailed style and a relentless directness, Newton staged the neverending psychodrama that contrasts glamour with the need for admiration, self-confidence with the desire for self-presentation, and Eros with Thanatos. Private Property was originally a three-part portfolio containing 45 b&w photographs. It includes Newton’s best work from the period 1972-1983 – an exquisite assortment of fashion shots, portraits and erotic motifs which are all based on real location and luxurious lifestyles. The entire sequence of pictures from the Private Property portfolio is included in our book which first appeared in 1989.

Henri Cartier-Bresson as perhaps the greatest photographer of the twentieth century. In a career spanning over sixty years, he used his camera as an impassive and neutral third eye to capture the vagaries of human behaviour and to produce some of the most memorable and compelling photographs ever published.

In this impressive biographical study, Jean-Pierre Montier traces Cartier-Bresson's artistic progression from his early training as a painter and draughtsman; he provides a detailed analysis of his most famous images and discusses the various philosophies that informed his work, notably Zen and Surrealism.

Drawing together a remarkable selection of the paintings, sketches, and photographs, this book attempts a serious evaluation, not just of Cartier-Bresson's photojournalism, but of his oeuvre as a whole.

"Die frühen Photographien" ist ein Klassiker von Henri Cartier-Bresson, der bislang im deutschen Sprachraum noch nicht veröffentlicht wurde. Er versammelt 80 Photographien aus den Jahren 1926 bis 1934, die 1987 im Museum of Modern Art ausgestellt wurden. Nach ersten photographischen Versuchen während seines Studiums der Malerei in Paris widmete sich Henri Cartier-Bresson ab 1930 endgültig und ganz der Photographie. Seit 1932 photographiert er mit seiner Lieblingskamera, der unauffälligen Leica M, deren Optik dem menschlichen Auge entspricht. Viele Aufnahmen sind Straßenszenen aus Paris und anderen französischen Städten. Andere brachte er von seinen Reisen nach Spanien, Italien, Marokko und Mexiko mit. Immer ist in ihnen die aufgewühlte Stimmung zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen spürbar. Daneben finden sich erste Künstlerportraits, die später zu einem seiner großen Sujets werden sollten. Am 18. September eröffnet in der Kunsthalle der Versicherungskammer Bayern in München eine Ausstellung mit diesen frühen Photographien von Henri Cartier-Bresson.

Neugierde und Abenteuerlust lockten den 20jährigen Henri Cartier-Bresson nach Afrika; für Magnum war er in Mexiko, China und Nordamerika unterwegs; Neigung und eine tiefe Seelenverwandtschaft führten ihn nach Indien und Indonesien, wo er mehrere Jahre blieb. Doch der erklärte Weltbürger Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) kehrte immer wieder nach Europa zurück. Hier machte er seine erste Reise mit der Leica, 1932 durch Spanien und Italien, von der er berühmt gewordene Bilder und seine Berufung zum Photographen mit nach Hause brachte. Hier erlebte - und photographierte - er den Krieg und die Befreiung. Unser Band, den wir aus Anlass einer Ausstellung in der Kunsthalle Erfurt in diesem Herbst in einer Neuauflage anbieten, versammelt die poetischen und zeitgeschichtlich relevanten Bilder, die Cartier-Bresson auf seinen Reisen durch Europa über fast sechzig Jahre hinweg aufgezeichnet hat: Es ergibt sich das sensible Bild eines zerrissenen Kontinents, gesehen durch das Auge eines der bedeutendsten europäischen Photographen.

The 50 most famous iconic photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresso, doyen of picture journalism.

Seit den 30er Jahren des vergangenen Jahrhunderst hat Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) immer wieder neue - und nach ihm selten erreichte Maßstäbe gesetzt wenn es darum ging, Photojournalismus und Photokunst miteinander zu verbinden. Sein Name, der untrennbar mit der von ihm mitbegründeten legendären Photoagentur Magnum verbunden ist, wurde zum Gütesiegel einer Bildberichterstattung, der künstlerischer Anspruch und humanes Interesse ebensoviel gelten wie der Informations- oder auch Sensationswert einer Photographie. In unserer Serie Meisterwerke bieten wir diesen handlichen Band mit den berühmtesten HCB-Ikonen aus 50 Jahren an. Der begleitende Text stammt vom Meisters selbst: Es ist seine 1952 verfaßte Definition des entscheidenden Augenblicks, die zur theoretischen Grundlage jedes engagierten Photojournalismus werden sollte.

Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004) ist die herausragende Persönlichkeit unter den Photographen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein zwischen Journalismus und Kunst oszillierendes Werk umfasst nicht nur sechs Jahrzehnte, in seiner ästhetischen Qualität und geistigen Haltung wirkte es auch stilbildend für alle nachfolgenden Photographengenerationen. Das New Yorker Museum of Modern Art bereitet zur Zeit eine Retrospektive vor, die zum ersten Mal auf die reichen Bestände der Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris zurückgreifen kann. Aus Tausenden von Abzügen und einer Fülle von Dokumenten zum Leben und Werk des Jahrhundertphotographen stellte Kurator Peter Galassi eine Hommage an Henri Cartier-Bresson zusammen, die ihresgleichen kaum mehr haben wird. 300 Photographien werden gezeigt, eingeteilt in zwölf Werkkapitel, die alle Facetten seines Schaffens erfassen und mit berühmten, aber auch bisher unbekannten Bildern illustrieren. Den begleitenden Katalog, der einen weit ausgreifenden Essay von Peter Galassi und reichhaltiges Informations- und Quellenmaterial enthält, legen wir in deutscher Übersetzung vor.

"Photography is nothing, it's life that interests me." With his ever-present Leica camera, Henri Cartier-Bresson captured the raw and the sweet, the comic and the profound moments of lives that were lost in the grind or relegated to someone else's memory - the coincidental moment at which a reflection in a puddle of water mimics a poster on a nearby wall or when lovers kiss, oblivious to the not-so-pristine world around them. It is the familiar beauty and cruelty of the day-to-day that is so engaging in his photographs: two cosmopolitan woman chat nonchalantly while surrounded by empty lettuce crates; mourners at a funeral stare directly into the camera; postwar Paris awakens in the fog. Cartier-Bresson was the master of the "decisive moment," that fleeting instant for which a picture really is worth a thousand words, which is the essence of photojournalism. In no place is this more exemplified than in his images of Paris. Cartier-Bresson personally selected the more than 130 black-and-white photographs of Paris for this publication. With photographs taken over a period of 50 years, the work is beautifully and generously printed in duotone. The accompanying essays, both short and unobtrusive, are also familiar and personal. One essayist captures the essence of Cartier-Bresson's camera work: "When life calls, he is always there, to assist, or to admire; to rebel, or to say no to exploiters and imposters, and to all those who demean its value."

This volume presents photographer Cartier-Bresson's own selection of 130 of his photographs of Paris, taken over 50 years. Accompanying text discusses the history of Cartier-Bresson's engagement with the city and its place in his achievement.

A lavishly illustrated monograph that traces Cartier-Bresson’s development as a photographer, activist, journalist and artist

This is an indispensable work for lovers of photography and admirers of Henri Cartier-Bresson, whose influence continues to endure so powerfully today. In addition to some of his best-known photographs, here are many seldom seen or unpublished images, and some rarities in colour as well as black and white.

This is an indispensable work for lovers of photography and admirers of Henri Cartier-Bresson, whose influence continues to endure so powerfully today.

His work embraced art, politics, revolution and war. But more powerful than any of these overarching themes was his evident concern for the human individual at every social level. Cartier-Bresson’s observations of the effects of poverty and revolution around the world led directly to his pioneering photojournalism, and his co-founding of Magnum Photos. He also became renowned for his penetrating portraits of the most prominent figures of his time: Cartier-Bresson’s biographer Pierre Assouline called him ‘the eye of the century’.
