Paul Meijering Profile picture Realistic painting in acrylic of the German-Australian photographer Helmut Newton with one of his famous photographs painted by the artist Paul Meijering - the original painting is 90 x 120 cm and available for sale.

Helmut Newton, born Helmut Neustädter (Berlin, 31 October 1920 - Los Angeles, 23 January 2004) was a German-Australian photographer.

At the age of eighteen (1938), the Jewish young man fled his native Germany, due to the rise of National Socialism, and arrived in Singapore. There he worked for several years as a press photographer for the English-language newspaper The Straits Times. In 1940 he went to Australia, served in the Australian Army for five years and acquired Australian citizenship in 1946. There he met the actress June Brunell (stage name of June Browne) who posed for him as a model and became his wife in 1948. June Newton would later follow in her husband's footsteps and begin a photography career in 1970 under the pseudonym Alice Springs.

After many trips to Europe and jobs for British and Australian Vogue, he moved to Paris in the early 1960s. There he would spend the next few decades working as a fashion photographer for the French edition of Vogue. In 1971, a heart attack nearly killed him. From then on, his work would become more personal. Helmut and June moved to Monaco in 1981 and from then on spent the winters in Los Angeles.

In 2004 Helmut Newton died in a single-car accident, possibly due to a heart attack.

At that time (1980) the tendency of the abstract was running riot, and to his dismay and disappointment Paul found that the trade of the ancient masters was merely 'old hat', the realistic art being disregarded and looked down upon. After two years of useless botchery, there was only one conclusion to draw: 'get autodidact, be a self-taught person!' Paul then left the academy to work for a living, but at the back of his mind there always loomed the passion of his life: to paint. At his spare time he painted and his efforts are characteristic as far as man plays an important role are concerned, or to put it in his own words: 'Each human being tinkers at his own existence, it is the source of inspiration to explain the non-verbal by way of painting'.

The paintings attracted attention at various exhibitions and he was frequently approached by trades-people, hotel-keepers, merchants. These customers were for the most part interested in large wall-paintings and decorations. In the year 2000 the painter develops a speciality that's quite unique: he applies himself to paint football pictures. After a year he gets the chance to realize an open exhibition for an indefinite time as well with the Dutch Football Union 'KNVB' in Zeist as in
