| Born in New York in 1918, and raised in Atlantic City, NJ and Miami Beach, FL, Arnold Newman is one of the most internationally exhibited and collected photographers working today. He studied art under scholarship at the University of Miami, but due to the Depression, turned to photography in 1938. Generally acknowledged as the originator of the environmental portrait, Newman began experimenting with portraiture in the 1940s, developing the approach that has become widely influential in modern photography. He is also known for his abstractions and still life photographs. Newman's first major show in The Philadelphia Museum of Art, "Artists Look Like This", attracted national attention. Since then, he has had one-man shows and is in the collections of virtually every major museum in America, as well as major museums on every continent including The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC); The Art Institute of Chicago; The George Eastman House, The National Portrait Galleries of London and Washington, DC, Israel Museum (Jerusalem), Tel Aviv Museum, The Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), The San Diego Museum of Photographic Art, The Corcoran Gallery of Art (Washington, DC), The International Center of Photography (NYC), The Norway Museum, L'Hotel de Sully (Paris), Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Copenhagen) and many others from Stockholm to Tokyo. He has lectured and photographed extensively on every continent. Still active in commercial and editorial photography, Newman has been an important contributor to publications such as The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Life, Look, Esquire, Holiday, Harper's Bazaar, Travel and Leisure, Town and Country, Scientific American, and others. His corporate clients have included IBM, John Deere and Company, Ford Motor Corp., EG&G, The Commonwealth Company, Eastman Kodak Company, Revlon, Ilford, Polaroid, Canon Camera, and many others. He is still involved in advertising and annual reports. Newman is the recipient of nine Honorary Doctorates and countless awards throughout the world, and has been the subject of numerous television documentaries and interviews, as well as awarded Commandeur de l'Ordre de Arts et des Letteres by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication. He is featured in numerous histories and anthologies of photography, and there are fourteen books on his work, some translated into several languages. Arnold Newman passed away on June 6, 2006 in New York City. He is survived by his wife, Augusta, two sons and four grandchildren.
