Jean Dubuffet, Vence, France, 1956 Arnold Newman + Favorite Newman portrait of all time—and that’s not easy to peg down. When I saw this as a kid, richly printed in my father’s copy of Michael Komanecky’s Arnold Newman: Artist’s Portraits,  I was fed a morsel of what portraiture might have been about and what it could be and mean for me. It was definitely a driving force in my earliest experiments. This image man. Damn.
