Sheldon Art Galleries: Friday, 5 October 2012
The Sheldon Art Galleries opens Arnold Newman: Luminaries of the Twentieth Century in Art, Politics and Culture, Friday, October 5, 2012 in the Gallery of Photography and Bernoudy Gallery of Architecture.
Complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres from 5 – 7 p.m.; galleries are open until 9 p.m. for First Fridays in Grand Center. The exhibition runs through January 19, 2013.
Arnold Newman: Luminaries of the Twentieth Century in Art, Politics and Culture features photographs of some of the most innovative minds and personalities that defined a century as seen through the eyes of one of its own: Arnold Newman. With over 60 images, this collection features portraits of those who gave rise to the ideas and concepts that have shaped our world, including Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, Marcel Duchamp, Igor Stravinsky, Jackson Pollock, Salvador Dali, Alexander Calder, Ayn Rand, Langston Hughes, Martha Graham, Man Ray, Leonard Bernstein, Georgia O’Keeffe, Andy Warhol, John F. Kennedy, Philip Glass and Woody Allen, among many others. With a career spanning 60 years, Newman’s body of work reads as a roll-call of the most influential names of the 20th century.
Arnold Newman (1918-2006) is acknowledged as one of the great masters of photography, and his work has changed the photographic portrait. Recognized as the “Father of Environmental Portraiture,” Newman was influenced by early photographers like Alfred Stieglitz and the school of Modernism. He quickly developed his own unique visual style and technique, placing his subjects in the midst of the stuff of their genius. His portraits at once speak to his talent as a photographer and his unparalleled ability to capture the personality of his subjects.
Gallery hours are Tuesdays, Noon – 8 p.m.; Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, Noon – 5 p.m.; Saturdays, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. and one hour prior to Sheldon performances and during intermission. Admission is free.
