Mary and Dan Solomon 1989

Arnold Newman, known for his distinctive portraiture style that often featured the subject's working environment, captured Mary and Dan Solomon in a studio setting in 1989. The black and white photograph showcases the couple in a relaxed pose, with Mary seated in a chair and Dan leaning over her shoulder. Newman's work often explored the relationships between individuals and their professions, resulting in striking images that transcend mere portraiture. The Solomon's portrait, although lacking contextual information about their professions, emphasizes their intimacy and connection through Newman's signature use of lighting and composition.
