THE PRINT

In 1966, at a time when the perception of women wearing pants was considered off-kilter and inappropriate, Yves Saint Laurent introduced the world to Le Smoking, a tuxedo-style suit that quickly became the epitome of sex appeal. Yet, for all the celebrity acclaim, it was undoubtedly photographer Helmut Newton who made Le Smoking iconic; his extraordinary capacity to imbue his subjects with a potent sexuality reaching new heights when married to the louche enigma of the YSL tuxedo. Shot for French Vogue in 1975, the story featured an androgynous woman standing in a hazily lit Parisian alleyway, hair slicked back, crisp white cravat and cigarette. With stark monochrome simplicity, Newton created a piece of iconography that to this day has never gone out of fashion.

This iconic black and white photography art print is the epitome of style and and sophistication and will make a stunning addition to your home decor. This gallery quality giclée art print has been produced on luxurious heavy weight art paper using archival quality inks resulting in a superior print with pin-sharp detail, rich vivid colours and unparalleled durability.

THE ARTIST

Nobody has made quite the lasting impression on fashion imagery as Helmut Newton. Hired by French Vogue in the 1950s before being propelled to fame in the 1970s, Newton came to be renowned for his controversial scenarios, hypersexualised imagery and striking compositions. With elements of his work that linked to the themes of surrealism – an art movement dominant during his youth spent growing up in Berlin – Newton’s unadulterated love of beautiful and strong women saw him create images laden with heavy overtones of voyeurism, sadomasochism and fetishism. With work published in Nova, Queen, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle and Playboy plus 64 covers for Vogue Paris under his belt, Newton’s famed oeuvre ranges from powerful nude women, who radiate a sense of eroticism and empowerment, to black-and-white portraiture of figures that range from Margaret Thatcher to David Bowie, Leonardo DiCaprio and Sophia Loren.

The print is gorgeous! I am super happy with it! The image quality is good and the paper is of a very thick high quality. At first I received a different print but got to keep the other one and they shortly sent me the correct one so ended up with two beautiful prints! Thanks for the great customer service!
