While Arnold Newman may be celebrated today for pioneering the environmental portrait, which involved finding the best setting to express the essence of his subjects, here the artist has presented a close-up of Picasso’s grave expression instead. His face is the sole focus of the work, with his eyes hinting at the creative spirit swirling within their depths. Staring directly at the camera with his right hand resting on his forehead, Picasso appears both pensive and intense.
