About the artwork

This iconic photograph by Helmut Newton captures four standing nude women wearing stilettos, adopting poses that are both powerful and elegant. The style is minimalist, with carefully controlled lighting highlighting the lines of the body and the subtle contrasts between light and shadow. The image plays on an assertive sensuality, while exploring notions of femininity, emancipation and posture. The work, typical of Newton, oscillates between eroticism and aestheticism, blurring the boundaries between fashion and art. Her images, though controversial for their erotic charge, are recognized as bold explorations of femininity in the fashion industry and beyond.

Expert opinion

This work, part of the artist's iconic series, perfectly reflects Newton's singular approach: a cinematic gaze and technical mastery at the service of the beauty and strength of women.

About the artist

Born in Berlin in 1920, Helmut Newton was a photographer who lived and worked in Australia, Paris, Monaco and Los Angeles, where he died in 2004. In 1936, he became a pupil of the German photographer Else Simo, known as "Yva", to whom he owed his photographic style. He became world-renowned for his incongruously staged, provocative fashion photographs, which revolutionized the conventional image of women in the magazines of the 1970s and 1980s. His photographs have been exhibited in prestigious institutions such as the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia. He has also collaborated with magazines such as Vogue and Vanity Fair, making his mark on the history of fashion photography.
