Portraits and Abstractions. The exhibition includes 120 prints copyright
An exhibition, curated by Anastasia Lepihova, of the acclaimed master of photographic portraits of the twentieth century. The exhibition includes 120 prints copyright. Arnold Newman (1918-2006) is considered the father of so-called "portrait in a natural setting," though he did not accept this definition, and said that his work rather symbolic. "I just do not want a picture with some objects in the background. The environment should not only complement the composition, but also to "explain" person. It does not matter who I was shooting, the photo must have been interesting. Just a portrait of a famous person is worth nothing. " Feature works Newman is empathy he felt for artists and their works. He posed Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe, Igor Stravinsky and Leonard Bernstein, Piet Mondrian and Max Ernst, Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso, among others. Throughout his incredibly productive career Newman collaborated with such influential publications.
