A bold and seductive composition , "Hollywood Cadillac, Los Angeles 1976" is a striking example of Newton’s fascination with power, luxury, and cinematic storytelling . Part of his renowned Private Property Collection , this image features a nude model posed beside one of Newton’s favorite automobiles—his own Cadillac convertible .
In "Hollywood 1976 Cadillac in Garage," Newton plays on the twin boyhood fantasies of cars and women , creating a charged atmosphere of desire, dominance, and danger . The juxtaposition of the sleek, polished Cadillac and the model’s raw sensuality underscores Newton’s signature aesthetic—where high fashion meets unapologetic eroticism.
