Archief Arnold Newman naar Texas
The archive of photographer Arnold Newman, whose 'environmental portraits' included Pablo Picasso, Lyndon Johnson and Truman Capote, has been acquired by the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas.
Newman, who died June 6 at the age of 88, was renowned for his portraits of artists and politicians in which he posed his subjects to reveal them in their own environments.
The archive dates to the 1930s and contains all of Newman's negatives, slides and color transparencies, his original contact sheets, and more than 2,000 prints.
The Ransom Center will also create the Arnold Newman Fellowship in Photography to support scholarly research in the center's photography collection.
