Arnold Newman (1918–2006) was one of the most productive, creative, andsuccessful portrait photographers of the twentieth century. For nearly seventyyears, he applied himself to his craft, and he was rewarded by the regularpublication of his work in the most influential magazines of the day. He alsohad several major solo exhibitions, and his work can be found in prestigiousphotography collections around the world.A celebration of Newman’s achievements and the first monograph to be publishedafter his death, this book contains more than 200 images, many of whichhave never before been seen in book form. These include individual and groupportraits, as well as landscapes, architectural details, and cityscapes.Published to accompany a touring show opening in Berlin in March 2012, thebook features quotes from interviews with Newman, short biographies of his sitters,and essays on this most deeply principled of perfectionists.
