Playboy: Helmut Newton -- Following Playboy's celebrated fiftieth-anniversary Photographs and Cartoons comes an arresting retrospective of Helmut Newton, one of the 20th century's most influential photographers. Renowned for his carefully composed, almost cinematic shots, Newton's signature style makes for a dramatic counterpoint to the Playboy nudes known the world over. Collected between shimmering metallic covers are more than 150 color and black and white photographs. Here we see Newton's take on Playmates in Los Angeles, Nastassja Kinski playing out a fantasy with a doppelgänger doll, a Lolita-esque travelog, and more. With a foreword by Hugh M. Hefner, an introduction by celebrated writer Walter Abish, and an afterword by Playboy's director of photography for the past 30 years, Gary Cole, Playboy: Helmut Newton is the definitive book of Newton nudes.

About the photographer:

Helmut Newton (1920-2004) was one of the most influential fashion photographers of all time. Born in Berlin, he arrived in Australia in 1940 and married June Brunell (a.k.a. Alice Springs) eight years later. He achieved international fame in the 1970s while working principally for French Vogue, and over the next three decades, his celebrity and influence continued to grow. Eschewing studios, for the most part, Newton preferred to shoot in the streets or in interiors. His mixture of controversial scenarios, bold lighting, and striking compositions came to form his signature look. In 1990 he was awarded the "Grand Prix National" for photography; in 1992 was awarded by the German government "Das Grosse Verdienstkreuz" for his services to German culture and was appointed "Officer des Arts, Lettres et Sciences" by S.A.S. Princess Caroline of Monaco. In 1996, he was appointed "Commandeur de l`Ordre des Arts et des Lettres" by Philippe Douste-Blazy, the French Minister of Culture. Working and living in close companionship with his wife until his death at 83, through his last click of the shutter he continued to be as distinctive and influential as ever.

From Marilyn Monroe to Cindy Crawford, Linda Evans to Farrah Fawcett, Playboy has celebrated the sensuality (and even launched a few careers) of celebrities for more than fifty years. Here, in all their glory, are over 150 breathtaking photographs of the magazine's most famous heavenly bodies. Celebrity models such as Naomi Campbell and Stephanie Seymour, Playmates Jenny McCarthy and Pamela Anderson, rockers such as Debbie Harry, and many more reveal all—posing for equally renowned photographers such as Herb Ritts and David LaChapelle. With an introduction by Hugh Hefner himself and an afterword by Gary Cole, the magazine's director of photography for the past 30 years, this definitive collection from Playboy is a potent portfolio of celebrity nudes.

With the first Centerfold, who just happened to be the radiant Marilyn Monroe, Hugh Hefner masterminded a cultural icon: Playboy's Playmate of the Month.

With the first centerfold image of the radiant Marilyn Monroe, Hugh M. Hefner masterminded a cultural icon: Playboy's Playmate of the Month. This voluptuous new edition celebrates every nude centerfold from every issue of Playboy, from 1953 to February 2016. Initially published a decade ago, and now comprehensively updated, this must-have edition boasts 734 nude centerfolds and decade openers from literary luminaries, including an all-new essay by Elizabeth Wurtzel on the last decade of centerfolds, and a redesigned package that perfectly captures the complete cultural and aesthetic arc of the Playboy centerfold.

"Без них, - сказал Хью Хефнер, - я издавал бы литературный журнал". С ними "Playboy"(Плейбой) стал одним из самых популярных изданий своего времени, спорным культурным феноменом, который вызывает как восхищение, так и осуждение, являясь хронометром противоречивых американских сексуальных нравов. Добавив новое выражение в американский словарь - "Девушки месяца", Хефнер более полувека разжигал фантазии миллионов мужчин по всему миру, устанавливая стандарт красоты девушки-соседки, который стал эротическим идеалом и для нескольких поколений женщин.

Некоторые - такие как Мерилин Монро и Джейн Мэнсифлд - были открыты Голливудом до того, как они стали Девушками месяца. Другие, такие как легендарная Джанет Пилигрим, достигли известности именно благодаря своему появлению в журнале. Судьба героинь "Playboy" сложилась по-разному: кто-то пережил развод, болезни и несчастья; кто-то умер раньше времени. Но большинство стали успешными звездами и биржевыми агентами, писателями и телеведущими, защитниками окружающей среды, домохозяйками и матерями. Почти все они вспоминают свой опыт с большой ностальгией, а многие говорят, что этот опыт - одно из самых ярких воспоминаний их жизни.

Все они здесь, внутри: подборка из 613 Девушек месяца, начиная с самой первой девушки "Playboy" - незабываемой Мерилин Монро в декабре 1953 года до обворожительной Тиффани Фэллон (Мисс декабрь 2004) и девушек 2005 г. В этой книге представлено более тысячи фотографий из богатейших архивов журнала. Некоторые из них ранее не публиковались, многие сопровождаются современными снимками Девушек месяца и их биографиями, основанными на детальных интервью, взятых Гретхен Эдгрен.

В качестве дополнительного подарка для миллионов читателей "Playboy" Хью Хефнер открыл свой личный фотоальбом и поделился кадрами его любимых Девушек с разворота журнала и воспоминаниями о них.

Entering the universe of Bruno Poinsard means entering a world of resonance. Textures and colours set as counterpoints, chromatic correspondences, rhymes of bodies and fabric. The photographs of Bruno Poinsard ennoble the woman - a woman one can relish, one can breath in, a woman one can touch. The woman in his pictures is not an object of desire. She is desire. If she were a flower, he would let us smell her fragrance. If she were a fruit, we could taste her aroma. Her perfume wakens all of our five sences and allures us with a thousand enchantments. Looking closely at Bruno Poinsard's work you will understand how this photographer of beauty manages to stage the promised dreams for magazines so brilliantly. However, his talent expresses itself across his whole work: depicting female beauty in all its humaneness; making woman accesible without exhibiting her. Bruno Poinsard is one of the few photographers who can present the image of a woman and reveal her hidden dimension without violating her intimacy.

Daring and provocative, these images of the female nude challenge the viewer to defy limits and enter "forbidden territory." Argentini plays with our notions of privacy and constructs a hidden erotic universe where it is hard to know what we will find—our deepest erotic fantasies or a parallel reality? These charged erotic images are both sophisticated and raw, with a dark glamour all their own.

Guido Argentini was born in Florence, Italy in 1966. He has lived in Los Angeles since 1990 and has photographed for Vogue, Marie Claire, Playboy, Max and Men's Health.

Peace, love, and pudenda. How men's magazines turned hot and hippy between 1967–1972

In a brief golden span between 1967 and 1972, the sexual revolution collided with recreational drug exploration to create "psychedelic sex." While the baby boomers blew their minds and danced naked in the streets, men’s magazine publishers attempted to visually recreate the wonders of LSD, project them on a canvas of nubile hippie flesh, and dish it up to men dying for a taste of free love.

Way Out, Groovie, Where It’s At — each magazine title vied to convince the straight audience it offered the most authentic flower power sex trip, complete with mind-bending graphics and all-natural hippie hotties. Along the way hippies joined in the production, since what could be groovier than earning bread in your birthday suit?

At its height, psychedelic sex encompassed posters, tabloids, comics, and newsstand magazines, but the most far-out examples of all were the glossy magazines from California, center of both hippie culture and the budding American porn industry. It’s these sexy, silly reminders of peace, love, and pudenda we celebrate in Psychedelic Sex. So put on your beads, tune up your sitar, and let the love-in begin!

teNeues introduces a beautifully bound, slip-cased Collector's Edition of Pure Dance, the extraordinary collection of dance photographs published this season. In a series of breathtakingly beautiful pictures taken over a period of five years, Dieter Blum focuses his astute camera on 37 of 53 dancers in the world-renowned Stuttgart Ballet to explore the sculptural aspects of this exquisitely schooled human form; its strength, suppleness, discipline, mystery and possibilities for movement. Because all of the dancers are photographed in the nude, Blum succeeds in capturing the dynamic movement, musicality, and magic of the classically trained dance artist. Each photograph is a distilled, evocative frozen fragment of an art form that by its nature is fleeting and ephemeral.

Dieter Blum's photographs of musicians, dancers, and artists have appeared in Vanity Fair, Time, Spiegel, and Stern. He divides his time between Dьsseldorf and Esslingen, Germany.

Often referred to poetically as the “delta of venus” , this mysterious, triangular-shaped area, nestling by the female crotch is what doubtless attracts virtually every man (and also many women) more than any other! What is it about the look of a woman’s tush (or pussy, as it is also affectionately called) that is so fascinating? In our topless age, why is this most feminine of all forbidden zones still strictly shielded from prying eyes? Who knows, who can say? However, it is common knowledge that nothing inspires erotic imagination more than this yummy triangle, which attracts voyeuristic looks as magically as the Bermuda Triangle attracts ships and aeroplanes.

The incredible variety of shapes and colors, both inside and outside, featuring everything from bold hair styles to naked hairless pleasure, is simply breathtaking. It is almost as if the pussies are before our very eyes, glistening slightly, and we are virtually able to inhale their seductive scent or taste it; these pussies have been very skillfully photographed to set them off in the very best light. Enjoy!

Poetisch oft als „Delta der Venus“ verklärt, ist jenes geheimnisvolle Dreieck im Schoße der Frau wohl derjenige Körperteil, der fast alle Männer (und auch viele Frauen!) anzieht wie kein anderer. Was macht den Anblick dieser Pussies und Muschis und wie wir sie sonst noch liebevoll nennen, so faszinierend? Ist es das auch im Zeitalter des „oben Ohne“ immer noch vor Blicken streng gehütete weiblichste aller Geheimnisse? Wer weiß es schon! Nichts dient aber der Beflügelung der erotischen Fantasie mehr als dieses magische Dreieck, das voyeuristische Blicke so magisch anzieht wie das Bermuda-Dreieck Schiffe und Flugzeuge.

Man glaubt sie förmlich leicht glänzend vor sich zu sehen, ihren verführerischen Duft einzuatmen oder sie gar zu schmecken, diese fotografisch kunstvoll ins beste Licht gesetzten Pussies.

Ähnlich wie bei anderen Bildbänden aus dem Skylight-Verlag, etwa über prachtvolle Brüste (Boob Mania), knackige Hinterteile (Hot Cheeks 1 + 2) und die mehr oder weniger behaarten Dreiecke (Shaven or Unshaven), vermögen diese intimsten Aufnahmen für den Kenner und Liebhaber der puren Weiblichkeit zur echten Manie zu werden.

In Radiant Identities, photographer Jock Sturges explores issues of youth and the liberation of body and spirit.

These unforgettable images are made from his own circle of acquaintances and family; the settings are their homes and stretches of naturist beaches in France and Northern California. In superb reproductions, Sturges evokes the classical spirit of Old Master paintings and late-nineteenth-century photographic tableaux, while probing concepts of emergent sexuality and psychological intimacy. Radiant Identities is the second volume in Sturges's ongoing work. Physically and psychically revealing, these deeply felt images are gloriously natural and wonderfully compelling. Elizabeth Beverly's introductory essay, drawn in part from conversations with Sturges's subjects, adds a new dimension to the photographs.

These personal reflections shed light on the unique collaborative process by which Sturges's remarkable photographs are made. In the book's afterword, noted photography critic A.D. Coleman places Sturges in the context of current debates surrounding censorship in the arts, and discusses the themes of innocence and sexuality in the photographs.

A decade after his first TASCHEN book, Deus ex machina, master photographer Ralph Gibson returns with an exquisite collection of nudes, combining the best of his recent work with an in-depth interview by Eric Fischl. Strikingly graphic, meticulously composed, and loaded with subtle provocations, Gibson’s mysterious, dreamlike images pay homage to greats such as Man Ray and Edward Weston, while continually pursuing new frontiers.
