HELMUT NEWTON in fotografiemuseum FOAM te Amsterdam is nog t/m 4 september 2016 te bewonderen. Hooggehakte en langbenige dames, meestal schaars gekleed, met een onverholen, dus onomwonden erotische uitstraling. Vrouw en erotiek hebben in Newtons fotografie een centrale plaats ingenomen.…
day,
That their soft dyes have steeped my soul in colour
That will not pass away -
Great saffran sunset clouds, and larkspur mountains,
And fenceless miles of plain,
And hillsides golden-green in that unearthly
Clear shining after rain;
And nights of blue and pearl, and long smooth beaches,
Yellow as sunburnt wheat,
Edged with a line of foam…
Rising in fearless grace with every swell,
Thou seem'st as if a spirit meekly brave
Dwelt in thy cell:
Lifting alike thy head
Of placid beauty, feminine yet free,
Whether with foam or pictured azure spread
The waters be.
What is like thee, fair flower,
The gentle and the firm?…
