Henriette Allais Big nude lll by Helmut Newton Canvas Wall Art

Model Henriette Allais assumes the role of 'Big Nude III' in this image by Helmut Newton that has become one of the most widely-published, recognisable and emblematic of his photographs. It seems to define the concept of the Newton woman -- powerful, assertive, and coolly confrontational. The subject's carefully directed pose and the sense of her towering stature -- exaggerated by a low camera angle that gives the viewer the sensation of gazing up at her, even on the printed page -- contribute to the indelible impact of the picture.
