“I’m not looking for a good woman,” Helmut Newton as soon as said. In lieu of the angular topics that were the style convention in the forties when Newton began his profession, the photographer sought out busty, broad-shouldered women—often blondes—whom he’d photograph in black and white, at high midday, [url=http://www.mjsupermall.com/マクバイマクジェイコブス-トト-c-42.html] Ы Ы [/url] and preferably in the nude. He rendered his muses as strong, dominant protagonists in his erotic, visual narratives, which flirted with sadomasochism. Much more than one hundred of his subversive images are now on show at Los Angeles’ Annenberg Area for Photography. Opening to the community on Saturday, Helmut Newton: White Ladies Sleepless Evenings Big Nudes includes works from his initial three publications. One photograph from the seventies, “Chained Nude,” exhibits a design sporting only a pair of cherry-red stilettos and chains around her ankles, while another, especially legendary shot, depicts two women—one nude, one in a black tuxedo—sharing a passionate kiss.

Getting invested his winters in Los Angeles, the Berlin-born Newton frequently photographed its actresses and designs at notable nearby locations. For instance, he snapped Daryl Hannah swinging on rings at Santa Monica Seaside, and shot designs Lisa Taylor and Beverly Johnson topless on the Sunset Strip. Another of Newton’s favorite locations was the Chateau Marmont—in fact, in 2004 at age eighty three, the photographer died in a car accident after leaving the West Hollywood hotel.

To coincide with the exhibition, the gallery commissioned Provocateur, a brief movie that features pictures of Newton (like the snap David Fahey took of the photographer in 1985 at the Chateau Marmont, left), and interviews with those who understood him well. Among them was George Holz, who, along with Mark Arbeit and Just Loomis, worked as Newton’s assistant before turning into a expert photographer himself. “I’ll usually keep in mind the way he approached his assignments and would look around much more for the unexpected than the expected. He pushed for his eyesight,” Holz told Style.com at a preview on Wednesday. “The initial large shoot that Mark and I labored with him on was in Manhattan Beach with a bunch of surfers. Afterward, we’d always go back and hang at the Polo Lounge [at the Beverly Hills Hotel] and speak about the day, photography, and life,” Holz recalled. “He was very generous that way.”

Helmut Newton: White Ladies Sleepless Nights Large Nudes opens Saturday and is on view via September 8 at the Annenberg Space for Pictures, 2000 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles.
