The Artist: Within 10 years of his arrival on American soil in 1940, Philippe Halsman became one of the most celebrated portrait photographers in the country. His work appeared frequently on the cover of Life as well as in the famous picture magazines of the day: Look, Holiday and the Saturday Evening Post. He photographed the likes of Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn when they held the limelight. He is also known for his "jump pictures" of the 1950s, when he asked subjects such as Richard Nixon and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to jump for the camera.
