Hugh M. Hefner, Gary Cole Following Playboys celebrated fiftieth anniversary Photographs and Cartoons comes an arresting retrospective of Helmut Newton, one of the 20th centurys most influential photographers. Renowned for his carefully composed, almost cinematic shots, Newtons signature style makes for a dramatic counterpoint to the Playboy nudes known the world over. Collected between shimmering metallic covers are more than 150 color and black and white photographs. Here we see Newtons take on Playmates in Los Angeles, Nastassja Kinski playing out a fantasy with a doppelg nger doll, a Lolita-esque travelog, and more. With a foreword by Hugh M. Hefner, an introduction by celebrated writer Walter Abish, and an afterword by Playboys director of photography for the past 30 years, Gary Cole, Playboy: Helmut Newton is the definitive book of Newton nudes.
