A Playboy Classic!!
Helmut Newton is a required taste. But like cavier and vintage champagne, once you acquire the taste you appreciate the finest be it food or art. I used to look at Helmut Newton's work from his earlier books such as Portraits and I didn't get it. The photographs seemed to me to be either "nice" pictures of celebraties ie Liz Taylor or perverted pictures of large nude women. But his style has a strange effect on you. Your fondness for the pictures grows, well it did in my case and you soon see the uniqueness of this guys artform. This may not be the first Helmut Newton book I would recommended to someone who hasn't seen his work but it is a classic. His images are timeless and in my eyes don't pander to those nice images you get from most other erotic photographers for the mass market. so if you want something different and sensual, Helmut Newton, can provide it.
