Arnold Newman, the pioneer of photography

Newman's former friend jonathan crane is the co-founder and CEO of Getty Pictures, a global creative photo giant. He called Newman "a pioneer who constantly promoted the development of people's photography in his career." "He photographed many great figures in the 20th century, which had a great influence on a generation of photographers, and many people still use his photography techniques."

Because of Newman's rigorous working attitude and creative arrangement of the relationship between environment and people, his works have gained a high reputation. During Newman's 65-year photography career, like other famous portrait photographers, he took portraits of all the celebrities he could find, including Dali, Picasso, John F. Kennedy, Nixon, Eisenhower, Huo Nicole, Stiglitz and so on. With the "environmental portrait" becoming a widely used way for photographers, Newman himself has become the most popular photographer in big magazines such as Life, Time, Happiness and Harper's Square. However, he has always maintained a good attitude, except mainly shooting artists he can grasp best, literary and art circles, sports circles, scientific figures and a few politicians, other stars and even celebrities and beautiful women.

1999, Newman was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the International Photography Center. In 2000, Newman's 13 book Arnold Newman was published, and his works were also exhibited at the Cochrane Art Museum in Washington. Newman gave 14 lectures all over the United States at that time.
