Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion will be exhibiting over sixty photographs of Jewish artists, composers, critics and playwrights in a retrospective of the portraiture of Arthur Mones. Mones spent decades capturing the singular intensity of individual artists among their notable work. Leonard Bernstein, Roy Lichtenstein, and Stephen Sondheim are among the many luminaries on view at the College-Institute from October 14 to February 12 at 1 W. 4th Street, New York City.

The photographs, many of which have become the best-recognized public “face” of an artist, are accompanied by biographical details about the artists and their work. Mones states that “a successful portrait captures many aspects of the subject’s personality, places the subject within the world he has created, and must have a universality to raise it above being a good likeness into the realm of acceptance as a good photograph.”

Arthur Mones, a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography in 1939, served as a U.S. Army Air Force photographer from 1941 through 1945. His travels in Sicily in 1978 resulted in his project, “Ruins,” and throughout Spain in the following year for his project, “Doorways.” Mr. Mones’s photographs are included in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum, the Carnegie Institute, New York University Art Collection, and the New Orleans Museum of Art, among others.
