Helmut Newton’s women are liberated, dominant and strong. He puts them to the test and he returns to them again and again. They love and seduce as and how they wish. In Tied up Torso, taken in Ramatuelle in 1980, the model is both an icon of desire swaddled in bondage and the symbol of a competent woman, clenched fist raised in the manner of Naomi Parker asserting We Can Do It, in 1943. Wild fantasies are equalized by the extreme sophistication and stunning elegance in this iconic Newton photograph.
