Napoleon Perdis: Overexposed? Helmut Newton at the Annenberg Space for Photography
I'm a big admirer of iconic fashion photographer Helmut Newton and continue to be drawn to his evocative body of work. I particularly love his depiction of beautiful, hyper-strong women -- and the intended irony beneath the sexually charged tone of his photographs. But more on that later... The Annenberg Space for Photography in L.A. is currently exhibiting Helmut Newton. White Women. Sleepless Nights. Big Nudes (until September 8) and it's the first exhibition of his work outside of gallery shows in LA, a city he loved.
