Helmut Newton "Big Nude III (Henrietta)", Paris, 1982 – Vintage Exhibition Poster
"Big Nude III (Henrietta)", Paris, 1982 – Vintage Exhibition Poster by Helmut Newton.
Helmut Newton’s Big Nude III (Henrietta) is one of the most powerful and enduring images from his groundbreaking Big Nudes series, photographed in Paris in 1982. The composition exemplifies Newton’s fascination with symmetry, confidence, and the female form as both subject and symbol of power. Standing upright against a stark background, the model’s unflinching gaze and statuesque stance mark a defining evolution in Newton’s exploration of strength, sexuality, and modern identity.
First exhibited as part of Newton’s Private Property collection, this image cemented his reputation as a provocateur who redefined portraiture by merging fashion’s precision with fine art’s psychological depth. Big Nude III (Henrietta) remains one of the most iconic representations of the 20th century’s visual dialogue between vulnerability and dominance — a photograph as bold as the era it captured.
