A bold and provocative exploration of power, fantasy, and sexuality , "Winnie On Deck, Cannes 1975" —also known as "Cruising from Behind" —captures Newton’s iconic blend of high fashion, eroticism, and playful subversion . Set against the romantic backdrop of the sea , this image transforms nautical luxury into a scene of exaggerated seduction and theatricality .
Newton frequently incorporated strong hierarchies and role reversals in his compositions, and here he plays with the relationship between Captain and sailor , using large false breasts as an overt exaggeration of femininity and power dynamics . The juxtaposition of humor and overt sensuality reinforces Newton’s mastery of storytelling through imagery.
Winnie Holman, the Danish supermodel featured in this print , was a regular muse for Newton and later became known for her relationship with Jack Nicholson, with whom she had a daughter .
