Dear Sophie -
I debated whether or not to include HELMUT NEWTON, but since he is in the lexicon of image makers, and the complicity of his myth is perpetuated by institutions such as the Grand Palais, he seems necessary to discuss.
I find this photographers representation of women pornographic and misogynistic . Being eaten by a crocodile, oppressed by a fully dressed male overlord, and squatting to be ridden like an animal is grotesque and degrading.
I feel nauseous and want to barf.
With love,
Mom
g-d help us.
