books0977: Père Lachaise Tomb of Talma (1977). Helmut Newton (Australian, born Germany, 1920-2004). Chromogenic print. Newton’s infatuation with the surrealist photography of 1930’s Paris comes to the fore. Drawing on the work of Brassaï, Man Ray and Edward Steichen, all of whom had a preoccupation with the surreal potential of antique public sculpture, Newton creates interesting plays between the animate and inanimate, the living and the dead, at the Parisian graveyard, Père Lachaise. -- source link
