'Arnold Newman: Breaking Ground'
Corcoran focuses on photographer to the famousWASHINGTON (CNN) -- You may not know Arnold Newman by his face, but odds are good you'll recognize his work the faces of others -- President Harry Truman, actress Marilyn Monroe, artist Pablo Picasso, to name a few.
Sure, other photographers have taken their portraits, too, but Newman used a ground-breaking approach when he aimed his camera. He pioneered "environmental portraiture," placing subjects in their element -- a sculptor in a studio, for example, or a choreographer in a rehearsal hall. A 50-year retrospective Newman's work, featuring 160 photographs from 1938 to 1998, opens Saturday at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington. The exhibit, "Arnold Newman: Breaking Ground," is scheduled to run through May 21. Newman gave CNN'S Bruce Morton some personal insight into his most-renowned subjects.
