Arnold Newman (1918 – 2006), who made this masterwork, is one of the most influential portrait photographers of the 20th century. Quite early on he developed his style, which became known as «environmental portraiture». The environment, the architecture and the atmosphere in which he photographed his models are not just decoration, instead they emphasise the character and personality of the subject. In the exhibition of around 30 photographs, ArteF Fine Art Photography Gallery present
portraits of famous artists and other celebrities, for example Jean Arp, Max Ernst, Roy
Lichtenstein, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, Ed Ruscha, Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz as
well as I.M. Pei and Bill Clinton. For example, we see Igor Stravinsky sitting at his monumental
grand piano, his head resting pensively on his hand. It is not the well-known composer
occupying the centre of the picture, rather the open instrument, which dominates the space
as an abstract form.
