| Description: | The Harry Ransom Center offers free, docent-led tours of the exhibition "Arnold Newman: Masterclass" every Tuesday. The exhibition explores the career of photographer Arnold Newman (1918-2006), who created iconic portraits of some of the most influential innovators, celebrities and cultural figures of the twentieth century. All docent tours begin with a brief introduction to the Ransom Center and the Gutenberg Bible.
A bold modernist with a superb sense of compositional geometry, Newman is known for a crisp, spare style that situates his subjects in their personal surroundings rather than in a photographer's studio. Marlene Dietrich, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Arthur Miller, Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso are only a few of his celebrated sitters. Newman's archive resides at the Ransom Center. Featuring more than 200 of these well-known masterworks, the exhibit also includes rarely seen work prints and contact sheets.
The first major exhibition of the photographer's work since his death, "Arnold Newman: Masterclass" showcases the entire range of Newman's photography, featuring many prints for the first time. |
