Born in 1912 in Philadelphia, trained in photography by the renowned Alexey Brodovitch, and signed by Magnum at age 45, Eve Arnold was one of the world’s most revered photojournalists. “I have been poor and I wanted to document poverty,” she once said. “I had lost a child and I was obsessed with birth; I was interested in politics and I wanted to know how it affected our lives; I am a woman and I wanted to know about women.” Grounded in themes of power and fame, sexuality and civil rights, Arnold’s work pushed boundaries in a host of cultural and artistic spheres: she documented Harlem fashion shows in the 1950s, for instance, and women and children in the United Arab Emirates. This large retrospective at Newlands House features over 90 black-and-white photographs from Arnold’s six-decade career, some of which are being shown for the first time in 70 years. —Nyla Gilstrap
