  • This photograph was taken in the period after Arnold Newman had relocated to New York City from Miami Beach. In New York City, the artist established Arnold Newman Studios and truly launched his career as a freelance photographer.

    Boy and his dog, from 1947, shows us an especially tender example of Newman’s idea of “environmental portraiture”, a concept that involved the artist arranging his subject among his or her own most familiar surroundings and possessions.
