C/O Berlin presents the works of late Arnold Newman in an exhibition titled “Masterclass”. Arnold Newman (1918 - 2006) is undoubtedly one of the greatest masters of portrait photography. His research and preparation work, his curiosity and empathy for his models, combined with his diligence, choice of location, choice of light, as well as his final selection and cropping process enabled him to create perfectly balanced portraits that reveal each individual’s personality and character.
Curated by William A. Ewing the exhibition will be on display through May 20, 2012 at C/O Berlin After that the 200 vintage photographs along with contact sheets and work prints will move to The Hague, The Netherlands (Fotomuseum Den Haag, October 13, 2012-January 13, 2013), Austin, TX, USA (Harry Ransom Center / University of Texas, February 1-May 30, 2013) and San Diego, CA, USA (The San Diego Museum of Art, June 29-September 8, 2013).
Go see this! It’s outstanding!

In 1965, LIFE photographer Bill Ray spent three weeks riding with the Hells Angels in California. Here, two women — the Angels’ “old ladies” — hang out at a bar while the Angels attend a meeting.
“This picture feels almost religious to me: The women are drawn to the hot glow of the jukebox god, one bowing her head while the other kneels before it. Bill Ray’s perfect blacks, whites, and greys add to the sense of an upside-down spirituality.” — LIFE’s Editor-in-Chief Bill Shapiro

Margaret Bourke-White: Eyes of the World
Margaret Bourke-White logged a staggering number of firsts. As a pioneering photojournalist, she was among the first staff photographers hired at LIFE and she took its first cover photo (the spillway of Montana’s colossal Fort Peck Dam) in 1936. During World War II, she was the first woman accredited as a war correspondent by the U.S. military and the first to fly on a combat mission. None of her pioneering work came easily, of course, given the prevailing notions of what women journalists should not — and could not — do in the field. Despite numerous near-death scrapes, she continually put herself in the middle of history in order to get “the shot,” whether that meant accompanying Patton’s Third Army at the liberation of Buchenwald — documenting the atrocities of the concentration camps that the Nazis had long hidden — or capturing this iconic photo of Mohandas K. Gandhi, quietly working at his spinning wheel in 1946. Bourke-White was equally adept at gaining the trust of Dust Bowl refugees and world leaders. (She made Stalin smile, which might have been yet another first.) Even after she was afflicted with Parkinson’s, she fought valiantly to continue her lifelong project: documenting the human struggle for dignity and freedom.
