HELMUT NEWTON
MODEL CHECKING BRAKE LINING, PRE 1985
In ‘Model checking brake lining’, Helmut Newton harnesses the seductive power of the American car. Newton inverts the usual gender stereotypes to create a work that appeals to both universal male fantasies as well as the idea of the independent woman. Having spent a number of years as a mechanic and truck driver in the Australian Army, the world of automobiles was to form a crucial motif within his oeuvre.
