Arnold Newman

Arnold Newman is an American photographer well known for his "environmental portraits" of his subjects. He also worked with abstract images and he used this experience to capture the essence of the subject in his portraits. 

 His portraits are usually black and white with a sharp contrast and the subject is in focus. The portraits are well lit and this brings more focus to the pictures. This can be clearly seen in the portrait of Pablo Picasso, a renowned painter and sculptor. In his portraits he also tries to capture some element that shows more about the subject and what they do. This can be seen in his portrait of Salvador Dali, who is a famous surrealistic painter. Newman captured the line art that shows what Dali does in his paintings and how abstract he is.
