It’s a pity we only get to see one Arnold Newman portrait, that of Max Ernst, when he has such a body of work in that area, but there is quite a number of photographers included and an illustrated catalogue published by Silvana Editoriale accompanies the exhibition. Artist portraits include Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, John Lennon and Andy Warhol among many others. The Glucksman Gallery is a lovely exhibition space in the grounds of University College Cork. It runs until 7 July 2013.
