...to speak ill of the dead is cowardly.
I believe the direct quote that applies is:
We should keep silent about those in power; to speak well of them almost implies flattery; to speak ill of them while they are alive is dangerous, and when they are dead is cowardly. ATTRIBUTION: Jean De La Bruyère (1645-1696), French writer, moralist. "Of Great Nobles," aph. 56, Characters (1688). So it might be said that to speak ill of the famous artist while living is jealously, and when they are dead is ....... PSsquare "Randall Ainsworth" wrote in message ... And the loss to society is???? |

It has been interesting to be watch how "newsgroup discussion" has evolved since the early 80's (command-line text back then). I don't know if this is a reflection of society in general (far beyond my scope to comment...) or a result of "access to the masses"? I know I am getting off-topic, and I apologize for this, but whatever happened to compassion (sigh - I'd settle for civility)? I guess an update of the old saying must be at work. You know, the one that goes: ..."anonymity breeds contempt..." depressingly, CC |

What the hell is wrong with you people? Whether you liked his work or not,
the man is dead. Have a little respect. Respect for the family he has left behind that are grieving, respect for a life lost, respect for yourselves, for the love of......... I cannot believe how quickly this thread veered away from the original post. I cannot believe some have the balls to post will ill against a man they never knew just because they don't agree or enjoy the art he produced. To those of you who respectfully acknowledged this mans life and death I applaud you, to the rest of you, well it embarasses me to belong to the same species as you. My prayers and thoughts to his family and friends. (I am replying to group, I realize this means I am crossposting to groups I don't even subscribe to and I apologize to those if I offend, just wanted to get my point to all the asses out there) T C Bulmer remove the SPAM when replying "davidb" wrote in message om... Not sure where to post this... LOS ANGELES - Acclaimed photographer Helmut Newton was killed in a car crash Friday, police said. He was 83. Newton, a fashion photographer whose work appeared in magazines such as Playboy, Elle and Vogue, was best known for his stark, black-and-white nude photos. Newton lost control of his Cadillac while leaving the Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood and crashed into a wall across the street, said Officer April Harding, a police spokeswoman. Before hitting the wall, the car brushed an Associated Press photographer who was arriving at the hotel on an unrelated assignment. Newton was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he died a short time later, Harding said. Newton, who was Jewish, fled Germany for Singapore in December 1938, a month after Nazi-led pogroms. He eventually settled in Australia and became a citizen, then took up |

Could I be permitted to register a positive vote re his work. It was after
all mostly hand held 35mm and although I find some of his "pictorial" statements a bit hard to fathom and yet others that seem to me to be rather demeaning to women, there is never the less a considerable volume of jolly fine works that get and even deserve a second glance (stare/gaze), at least from me. His marketing skills were remarkable and I for one would happily take a leaf out of his book. Please note that even if we, ever the sophisticated photo entrepreneur may not identify with much of his work, there were many in the highly competitive and sophisticated world of fashion media that saw profit and good profit at that in his work cheers otzi |
