Signed poster by Arnold Newman of Picasso a rare print that was only produced for one year and was later used as the image for Apple’s think campaign. The poster has signatures by Arnold Newman and Marianne Fulton. It measures 28 x 20 inches (poster size) and 29 x 21 inches (framed). Signed by Arnold Newman (American, 1918-2006). Inscribed at lower right corner with dedication, "With my best wishes, Arnold Newman and all good wishes from Marianne Fulton." Arnold Newman was a celebrated American photographer known for his environmental portraits of artists and celebrities such as Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky, and Marilyn Monroe. “There are many things that are very false about photography when it is accepted without question,” he once explained. “You must recognize and interpret it as you would any other art form, and then maybe it is a little more than real.” Born on March 3, 1918 in New York, NY, he grew up between Atlantic City and Miami, and went on to study at the University of Miami on scholarship for two years. He left school and moved to Philadelphia, where he worked as a 49-cent portrait photographer. Newman relocated to New York in 1946, and shortly thereafter he was shooting photos for Look and Harper’s Bazaar. Unlike other portrait photographers of his time, such as Richard Avedon, Newman captured his subjects at home or working. The artist died on June 6, 2006 in New York, NY. Today, his works are held in the collections of the George East Museum in Rochester, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., among others.
