Durant une carrière longue de plus de 65 ans, Arnold Newman photographia quelques uns des plus célèbres personnages de la politique, du business ou de l'art. Né en 1918 à New York, il fut élevé et éduqué à Atlantic City et à Miami Beach. Il étudia l'art de 1936 à 1938 grâce à une bourse de l'université de Miami. Il commença sa carrière de photographe en 1938 en travaillant dans des studios réalisant des portraits à la chaîne à Philadelphie, Baltimore et West Palm beach, peu de temps après il devint indépendant et réalisa des photographies abstraites et documentaires. En juin 1941, Beaumont Newhall du Museum of Modern Art et Alfred Stieglitz "découvrirent" ce jeune photographe et lui organisèrent une exposition avec Ben Rose à la galerie A-D de New York. Newman commenga à travailler sur des portraits expérimentaux, développant une approche considérée comme ayant beaucoup influencée la photographie de portrait d'aujourd'hui. Son exposition en solo de 1945 au Philadelphia Museum of Art, "Artists Look Like This" attira l'attention du pays tout entier. Il se rendit en Afrique en 1958 afin d'effectuer un reportage pour Holiday Magazine et visita la Côte Ouest, le Nigéria, le Congo et l'Ethiopie. Arnold Newman is acknowledged as one of the great masters of 20th and 21st century photography and is widely recognized as the "Father of Environmental Portraiture." Over a career lasting 65 years, Arnold Newman photographed some of the most famous figures in politics, business and the arts. Born in New York City in 1918, Newman was raised and educated in Atlantic City and Miami Beach. He studied art from 1936 to 1938 under a scholarship at the University of Miami.
