Arnold Newman: Luminaries of the Twentieth Century in Art, Politics and Culture

©Arnold Newman Properties/Getty Images
As for myself, I work the way I do because of the kind of person that I am – my work is an expression of myself. It reflects me, my fascination with people, the physical world around us, and the exciting medium in which I work. I do not claim that my way is the best or the only way, it is simply my way. It is an expression of myself, of the way I think and feel.”
 
- Arnold Newman, A Life in Photography

Arnold Newman: Luminaries of the Twentieth Century in Art, Politics and Culture is an exhibition of the innovative minds and personalities that defined a century as seen through the eyes of one of its own; Arnold Newman. With over 60 images, this collection brings to light the names and faces that gave rise to the ideas and concepts that have shaped our world.
 

Arnold Newman (1918-2006) is acknowledged as one of the great masters of the 20th and 21st centuries and his work has changed the photographic portrait. Recognized as the ‘Father of Environmental Portraiture’, his work is collected and exhibited in major museums and collections around the world.  Hugely influenced by early photographers like Alfred Stieglitz and the school of modernism, Newman developed a unique visual style and technique. His portraits at once speak to his talent as a photographer and unparalleled ability to capture the personality of his subjects.


With a career spanning 60 years his body of work reads as a roll call of the biggest names of the Twentieth Century such as Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, Marcel Duchamp, Igor Stravinsky, Jackson Pollock, Salvador Dali, Alexander Calder, Ayn Rand, Langston Hughes, Martha Graham, Man Ray, Leonard Bernstein, Georgia O’Keeffe, Andy Warhol, John F. Kennedy, Philip Glass, and Woody Allen; a portrait of a groundbreaking era from one of its own.
