Courtesy Les Douches la Galerie, Paris | | | | | | | 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. | | | | | | | | | Marvin E. Newman
