1973Arnold Newman found his vision in the empathy he felt for artists and their work. Although he photographed many personalities he maintained that even if the subject is not known, or is already forgotten, the photograph itself must still excite and interest the viewer.
Quotations: "I didn't just want to take a photograph with some things in the background. The surroundings had to add to the composition and the understanding of the person. No matter who the subject was, it had to be an interesting photograph. Just to simply do a portrait of a famous person doesn't mean a thing."
