"Winnie On Deck Cannes, 1975" 20x24 Vintage Silver Gelatin by Helmut Newton Photography
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.
