Helmut Newton: Big Nudes

by Karl Lagerfeld

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.

Top Book Fapd Hard!!!

Of course I had to pick this coffee table book extraordinaire up. Look at that cover! Inside you'll find many great black and white pictures of, guess what, women in all kind of strong poses. Helmut Newton is a legendary photographer and leafing through this volume you'll get a clue why. Those women depicted are like goddesses come alive. Well, some of them were a bit hairy, LOL, but that was the Zeitgeist back then. Marvelous book that got much attention in the press back then. Highly recommended.
