Synopsis

Revised and expanded edition with new reproductions. With a foreword by Karl Lagerfeld. 58 duotone plates . 4to pp. 88 2264 Ottimo (Fine) "Several years ago Helmut was in Hamburg and during an evening walk through the harbour district he noticed the neon sign of a meat refrigeration plant: Nordfleisch. This explains the title I have chosen for this brief foreword. He says "I like cool girls". For this reason the word ,Nordfleisch (northern meat) is so fitting, even though 'cool' does not mean cold in the emotional sense. His models are only to appear untouched by their surroundings and their living conditions. Here he also means the opposite of 'romantic' and 'sentimental'. These two words are not part of his vocabulary. These adjectives can be forgotten when we discuss Helmut and his work" (from Lagerfeld's text).

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

With his Big Nudes, in the 1980s Helmut Newton created a quite unprecedented long-term bestseller. Simultaneously, it provided a concentrated image of his aesthetic agenda. Powerful women were presented in all their naked truth without fig leaves or fashion frills. This series of black-and-white photos, produced between 1979 and 1981, also marked a stylistic change in Newton's work. Elaborate layouts full of luxury and decadence gave way to an unambiguously formulated and monumental statement "Here they come!" Dressed only in their indispensable high heels, Newton's amazons selfconfidently paraded on show. They rippled their muscles and marched individually as well as in formation toward the observer. Helmut Newton's classic work was published by us in 1990 for the first time.
