A posthumous retrospective on
Arnold Newman’s fascinating
career, filled with iconic images
as well as photographs seen
for the very first time
Arnold Newman (1918–2006) was one of the most productive, creative, and
successful portrait photographers of the twentieth century. For nearly seventy
years, he applied himself to his craft, and he was rewarded by the regular
publication of his work in the most influential magazines of the day. He also
had several major solo exhibitions, and his work can be found in prestigious
photography collections around the world.
A celebration of Newman’s achievements and the first monograph to be published
after his death, this book contains more than 200 images, many of which
have never before been seen in book form. These include individual and group
portraits, as well as landscapes, architectural details, and cityscapes.
Published to accompany a touring show opening in Berlin in March 2012, the
book features quotes from interviews with Newman, short biographies of his sitters,
and essays on this most deeply principled of perfectionists. The mainly black-andwhite
photographs showcase Newman’s remarkable talent—with subjects ranging
from Truman Capote and Marilyn Monroe to Igor Stravinsky and Gore Vidal—in
an homage to a true master of modern photography.
