Specialist note

"Helmut [Newton] is a kind of sorcerer's apprentice for the picture of women in our time. The secret consists of hard-to-define mixture of distance and willingness of his women. With his models it is not possible to talk of 'girls'… Before his camera and in his pictures there is only mature, free and independent beings." – Karl Lagerfeld
