    NEWTON, Helmut.
    Playboy

    Paris: E.P.A. Hachette, 2005. First Edition thus (French edition). A retrospective of Helmut Newton's work, showing his theatrical / cinematic approach to portraiture. The book and dust wrapper are both almost as new, with just a fractional handling. No significant marks or wear. Perhaps our imagination, but the dust wrapper and matching boards seem to have a much darker, golden tone than the US edition. Although the introduction and other text is in French - this hardly matters, as this book is all about the photography. Contents include Motels - Spring summer fashion - Kinski revealed - Living dolls - Prussian guard - At your service - The angels - Young and old - The Newton girls - Living…

    . Première édition donc (édition française). Une rétrospective du travail d'Helmut Newton, montrant son approche théâtrale et cinématographique du portrait. Le livre et la jaquette sont presque comme neufs, avec juste une petite manipulation. Aucune marque ou usure significative. Peut-être est-ce le fruit de notre imagination, mais la jaquette et les planches assorties semblent avoir un ton beaucoup plus sombre et doré que l'édition américaine. Bien que l'introduction et les autres textes soient en français, cela n'a guère d'importance, car ce livre est entièrement consacré à la photographie. Au sommaire : Motels - Mode printemps-été - Kinski révélé - Poupées vivantes - Garde prussienne - A votre service - Les anges - Jeunes et vieux - Les filles Newton - Vivre et manger - 10 questions - Loving ladies - Playmates par Helmut Newton - Désirs de demain - A votre beauté - Newton Physics - Postface. 176 pages. 310 x 240 mm
