"Saddle II, Paris 1976" 20x24 Vintage Silver Gelatin Print by Helmut Newton
A sensual and commanding composition, "Saddle II, Paris 1976" exemplifies Newton’s ability to merge high fashion, power, and provocative themes into a single, striking image. This piece, part of Newton’s Private Property Collection, is a bold tribute to equestrian aesthetics, reminiscent of Hermès’ iconic themes of luxury, craftsmanship, and dominance.
Shot in Paris in 1976, this image plays with the juxtaposition of elegance and eroticism, using equestrian motifs to suggest themes of control, submission, and empowerment. Newton’s meticulous attention to texture and contrast, paired with his signature dramatic lighting, makes "Saddle II" a compelling and unforgettable statement in fine art photography.
