Marvin E. Newman, who passed away on September 13, 2023, photographed everything from street photography to advertising and sports commissions, nightlife and fashion. Les Douches la Galerie, which had the pleasure of presenting his first solo show in France, in 2018, wanted to pay tribute to him, a few months after his death, with this exhibition of photographs taken in color, mainly in New York.

This city, where he was born in 1927, was undoubtedly one of his favorite playgrounds, along with Chicago, where he settled to study at the Institute of Design (ID) between 1949 and 1952, alongside Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. An inquisitive man, open to the world and never taking himself too seriously, Marvin E. Newman was above all a storyteller. Through his work, the history of American photography from the post-war years to the present day unfolds before our eyes.
