Né le 3 mars 1918 à New York, Arnold Newman a consacré toute sa vie au portrait et à l'enseignement. "Depuis mon enfance, mes lectures préférées sont des biographies et l'histoire", expliquait-il. Après des études d'art à Miami, il est embauché en 1938 dans un studio à Philadelphie. Mais il fait vite cavalier seul. Pendant soixante-cinq ans, il va imposer sa marque, faisant défiler devant son objectif des personnalités politiques (Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Richard Nixon, de Gaulle, Ben Gourion), des écrivains (Norman Mailer), des actrices (Marilyn Monroe), des hommes d'affaires ou industriels (effrayant baron von Krupp). Au magazine Photo, en juin 1973, il définissait ainsi les qualités du portraitiste : "Evaluer une personne, une situation et un travail de façon instinctive. Et posséder une certaine autorité."

Le photographe américain Arnold Newman, un des grands spécialistes du portrait de célébrités, est mort mardi 6 juin à New York à l'âge de 88 ans. Les magazines comme Life, Harper's Bazaar ou Esquire raffolaient de ses images. On les comprend. Ses portraits en noir et blanc ou en couleur, pour les meilleurs des personnalités de la culture, étaient efficaces, attractifs, composés avec élégance. Le modèle fixait quasiment toujours l'objectif, et donc le lecteur, qui avait l'impression d'entrer en dialogue direct avec le créateur imprimé sur papier glacé.
Ce photographe qui tenait studio à New York a inventé un genre, au début des années 1940 : montrer la personnalité non pas dans son salon, encore moins sur un fond neutre, mais posant dans son environnement créatif. Ce qui donnait au lecteur l'impr...
Whilst Arnold Newman is recognized as a pioneer of Environmental Portraiture, he spent the early years of his career experimenting in abstract and documentary photography. Spanning 1938 to 1942, this previously unpublished collection of his early work introduces his formative years as a photographer and gives an insight into the visual beginnings of a great photographic master. This uncharacteristic series of images focuses on the people and places impoverished by the Depression.
Arnold Newman (1918-2006) was born in New York City. He took up photography after leaving art school in 1938 and was “discovered” by Beaumont Newhall and Alfred Stieglitz in 1941. During the course of an enormously productive career he contributed to publications such as New York, Vanity Fair, Life, Look, Holiday, Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, ...

Photographs of the 60s and 70s from the Nicola Erni Collection
"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!" is a collection of spectacular snapshots of a turbulent and legendary age in the history of art, music, fashion and film – the 1960s and ’70s. These decades were known for upheaval, provocation and creative energy. The Nicola Erni Collection, based in Zug, Switzerland, of which some 200 photographs are displayed here, takes visitors right into the heart of the vibrant cultural and party life that dominated the scene in New York, London and Paris. We penetrate this world through the lenses of the great photographers of the day, from Diane Arbus and Richard Avedon, Gary Winogrand, Helmut Newton, Annie Leibovitz to Robert Mapplethorpe. They trained their cameras on a range of celebrities including big names such as...

Un peu à part. Voire à l'écart. Mal aimé le musée Réattu au sein du festival d'Arles ? Disons qu'il ne lui a pas été facile de prendre sa place, comme l'a rappelé le maire Hervé Schiavetti lors de l'inauguration de l'exposition Oser la photographie. Les choses ont changé et l'institution arlésienne brûle de montrer de quoi elle est capable. Avec du culot et de la photo.
Pascale Picard, la directrice du musée et commissaire de l'exposition, rappelle avec enthousiasme que le festival d'Arles et la photographie doivent énormément à Réattu. C'est en 1965 que Jean-Maurice Rouquette, conservateur, et Lucien Clergue, photographe, y ont « os&e...
En retournant son objectif sur sa personne, le photographe bouleverse les codes : il peut dès lors voir son appareil comme un pistolet, et la prise de vue comme un défi.
A travers une quarantaine de tirages modernes et contemporains, l’exposition explore la photogénie intense de cet instant de vérité. Berenice Abbott, Paul Keetman, Val Telberg privilégient une approche expérimentale du médium photographique. Lucien Hervé, Arnold Newman, Vivian Maier s’approprient le miroir déjà si présent dans l’autoportrait pictural. À partir de son patronyme familial, Ezra Nahmad compose une autobiographie. Choï, Arno Minkkinen, Wols étudient les possibilités expressives de leurs corps et de leurs visages. Pour Rodolf Hervé, atteint d’une maladie, l’autoportrait est cat...
Daniel Blau gallery is delighted to announce the opening of the forthcoming exhibition,‘Other Portraits’; a selection of portraits and self-portraits by twenty-two of some of the most significant and celebrated photographers of the twentieth century.
Included are distinctive photographs by Margaret Bourke- White, Cecil Beaton, Walker Evans, Bernatzik, Araki, Tina Modotti, Arnold Newman and others. Gandhi, Roosevelt, and Mao Tse Tung are seen alongside portraits of Andy Warhol, Federico Fellini, as well as Nuba tribes people from Sudan. The photographs range from the subtle and intimate portrait of “Bernice Abbott” by Walker Evans, to the bold, curious images of “Willem de Kooning” by Arnold Newman. The exhibition is an invitation to explore the essence of each, from a reflective Chu...
To look upon someone extraordinary, who has achieved greatness against great odds. To be moved by an image of one who has touched upon the lives of thousands. To seek knowledge and understanding. To find inspiration.
These are the experiences we seek when confronted by a great portrait. The figures captured in this exhibition were extraordinary, exuding character and living lives of triumph and disaster. The photographers who captured their essence, by necessity required a technical prowess but more importantly possess depth, empathy and pursue a true understanding of the human condition.
Portraits are certainly the great power in photography. They are the great confluence of documentary and artistry. Our natural voyeuristic condition draws us in and the medium allows us to feel an element of intimacy. A great...

“We do not take pictures with our cameras, but with our hearts and minds.” Arnold Newman
Arnold Newman (1918-2006), était considéré comme un pionnier du portrait environnemental d’homme politique ou d’artiste, intégrant dans la même image le modèle et son œuvre. Formé à l’école d’art de l’Université de Miami, il est entré dans la profession en 1938, travaillant pour des studios spécialisés dans le portrait. Sa première exposition, en 1941, il la doit à Beaumont Newhall du Museum of Modern Art et au soutien du photographe Alfred Stieglitz.
Durant 65 ans, il a photographié les figures du monde politique, des affaires et de la culture. Véritable ...

Early last year, the Polaroid Corporation ceased producing its iconic film. The 9th October 2009 will see the final “Use by” or Expiration date of the last batch of Polaroid film manufactured. The exhibition at Atlas will feature a wide selection of Polaroid prints by photographers who have either worked directly with the Polaroid Corporation as part of their research program or who have become famous for the quality of their Polaroid prints either alongside or independent from their traditional camera-based work. It will thus trace the development and use of this unique medium up to the present day. The opening reception will coincide with Polaroid film’s final date of expiration.
The Polaroid or ‘one-step photography’ was invented by Edwin H. Land, founder of the Polaroid Corporati...
KOWASA gallery presents "The Vision of the Other: Modernity and the Photographed Face", a group show which attempts to define the way in which the human face was photographically constructed before its abolition by Postmodernism. The exhibition primarily offers a thorough insight into the history of portrait photography with a special emphasis on the shift of the portrait from being a mere "extension of the painted body" to being the photographic genre par excellence. At the same time it highlights the aesthetic and conceptual evolution of early portraiture from Pictorialism towards a modernist experimentation and subjectivity.
The exhibition gathers more than 70 black and white prints whose protagonists are Coco Chanel, Ernest Heminway, André Breton, Marc Chagall, Dalí, Josep Pl...
