In 1952, after studying photography at Chicago’s Institute of Design, native New Yorker Marvin E. Newman returned to his hometown intent on chronicling the city. His medium of choice was color photography, and his ethos is reflected in the quote, “We see in color, so black and white is technically a handicap for representing the world.” Wildly vivid, Newman’s photographs captured the people, landmarks, chaos, and energy of the self-proclaimed Greatest City in the World with bold style. Today, Newman’s vivid images are lauded by the likes of Eastman House, MoMA, and the International Center of Photography, but remain largely undiscovered beyond a prestigious collector and gallery circle. In this stately Art Edition, TASCHEN presents the photographer’s first ever career monograph, featuring some 170 pictures from the late 1940s through to the early 1980s, and accompanied by the signed photographic print Broadway, Believe It, 1958.
