Arnold Abner Newman (3 March 1918, New York, NY !6 June 2006, New York, NY) was an American photographer, noted for his "environmental portraits" of artists and politicians. He was also known for his carefully composed abstract still life images.
Newman found his vision in the empathy he felt for artists and their work. Although he photographed many personalities ! Marlene Dietrich, John F. Kennedy, Harry S. Truman, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, Arthur Miller, Marilyn Monroe, Ronald Reagan and Mickey Mantle ! he maintained that even if the subject is not known, or is already forgotten, the photograph itself must still excite and interest the viewer.
