Descrizione articolo

Riassunto:

The candid memoirs of the celebrated photographer of White Women and Sumo recount his birth to a wealthy Jewish family in Berlin, early fascination with photography, escape to China in the wake of Kristallnacht, service with the Australian army, marriage, and contributions to the world of fashion photography.

Recensione:

"Early on - even during war, adversity, family separation, and new lands - Helmut Newton showed an exuberance for life, and an artist's dedication to recording it through photography that ultimately brought him international fame.  Even now, at eighty, that exuberance has never dimmed as he tells in his highly entertaining biography entitled, simply, Autobiography."
— Dominick Dunne

“Helmut Newton's sharp eye and love of life have made his photographs incomparable, and now I understand how his own strange and unexpected history made him a master of his art. This outrageous and joyous book is also, incidentally, a breezy history of the 20th Century.”
— Paul Theroux
