Full Description:
Photographed in Paris in 1975, this portrait of David Hockney at the Piscine Royale captures the quiet wit and compositional precision that define Helmut Newton’s best editorial work. The British painter sits relaxed in a deck chair, sharply dressed yet perfectly at ease, surrounded by the graphic geometry of the pool’s Art Deco architecture.
Newton’s framing turns an unassuming moment into a study of symmetry and character — a meeting of two creative minds, each with an impeccable sense of visual balance. The crisp tonal range of the silver-gelatin print transforms leisure into elegance, making this one of Newton’s most understated yet sophisticated portraits of a fellow artist.
Overview

Each photograph is printed on 20×24 inch (50.8×61 cm) fiber-based paper with an image area of approximately 18.5×22 inches (47×56 cm), leaving a clean white border for matting or framing.
