📸 🎨 🔥 Captured by Arnold Newman, Pablo Picasso, Vallouris, France, 1954. Newman is generally acknowledged as the pioneer of the environmental portrait. He spent time exploring the essence of his subjects, finding the best environment to express who they were, and integrating them with their work into compositions that referenced the work. He structured his own visual language, setting up photographs with jaunty geometric grace and inventing visual elements where none existed thus adding complexity and depth to his portraits. His sense of tension, rhythm, and balance, guides the eye through his command of composition. .#arnoldnewman #fineartphotography #picasso #pablopicasso #master
