Helmut Newton (1920 - 2004) - Saddle I.

Helmut Newton (1920 - 2004), Saddle I., Paris, 1976. Ohne Mindestpreis! Photolithography 40.5 x 27.5 cm. Handsigniert und rückseitig betitelt und datiert. The Photolithographie is from the rare „Special Collection, 24 Photo Lithos“, published by the Rapoport Printing Corporation, New York, 1979. Biografie Der Fotograf Helmut Newton (deutsch, 31.10.1920 - 23.01.2004) wird als Helmut Neustädter in Berlin geboren. Sehr früh widmet er sich der Fotografie und vernachlässigt darüber oft die Schule. 1936 bricht er schließlich das Gymnasium ab und beginnt im selben Jahr eine Lehre bei der damals bekannten Berliner Fotografin Yva (Else Neuländer). Nach der Machtübernahme durch die Nationalsoziallisten flieht Newton 1938 aus Deutschland und arbeitet während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in Singapur und Australien, wo er einige Jahre in der australischen Armee dient. 1945 eröffnet Newton ein Fotostudio in Melbourne und kehrt in den 1950er Jahren zurück nach Europa. Dort arbeitet er für die Vogue, später auch für zahlreiche weitere Magazine und Modezeitschriften wie Playboy oder Elle. Für seine Aufträge reist Newton überall hin und avancierte in den 1970er Jahren zum begehrtesten und teuersten Modefotografen der Welt. Newtons Fotografien sind bekannt für ihr dramatisch-szenisches Licht und die unkonventionellen Posen der Modelle. Oft werden seine Arbeiten als obsessiv und sexuell aggressiv charakterisiert. Neben vielen Auszeichnungen erhält Newton den Kodak-Fotobuchpreis für sein Buch White Women(1976), den Life Legend Award des Magazins Life und den Preis des American Institute of Graphic Arts. Ab 1981 lebt Newton mit seiner Frau June Newton in Monaco und Los Angeles. Im Alter von 83 Jahren kommt er bei einem Verkehrsunfall in Los Angeles ums Leben.

biography
The photographer Helmut Newton (German, October 31, 1920 - January 23, 2004) was born as Helmut Neustädter in Berlin. He devoted himself to photography at a very early age and often neglected school as a result. In 1936 he finally dropped out of high school and in the same year began an apprenticeship with the then well-known Berlin photographer Yva (Else Neuländer). After the Nazis came to power, Newton fled Germany in 1938 and worked in Singapore and Australia during the Second World War, where he served in the Australian army for several years. In 1945 Newton opened a photo studio in Melbourne and returned to Europe in the 1950s. There he worked for Vogue, and later for numerous other magazines and fashion magazines such as Playboy and Elle. Newton traveled all over the world for his assignments and in the 1970s he became the most sought-after and expensive fashion photographer in the world. Newton's photographs are known for their dramatic, scenic lighting and the unconventional poses of the models. His work is often characterized as obsessive and sexually aggressive. In addition to many awards, Newton received the Kodak Photo Book Award for his book White Women (1976), the Life Legend Award from Life magazine and the American Institute of Graphic Arts Award. From 1981 onwards, Newton lived with his wife June Newton in Monaco and Los Angeles. At the age of 83, he died in a traffic accident in Los Angeles.
