If you know fashion or you know photography, you know Helmut Newton. He is like the Tyler Shields father figure in terms of art, i’d like to think. Also known as the bad boy of photography, also experimenting with controversial subject matter, and also making a name for himself through the shock factor. Pioneer of photography and controversy, his black & white images create a classy metter-of-factness to his Imgery. He once discounted people for having good taste as it makes you a poor artist in his eyes, and there is something so true and eye opening about this quote for me. No great and memorable piece of art was created with good taste in mind.
