Chrysler, Jr. 71.3023 Marvin Lazarus’s portfolio, which he began in 1958, captures preeminent artists in the mature stages of their careers. He began his own career as an lawyer, serving as assistant attorney general in New York before quitting to pursue photography. Once a powerful man now engaged in an artistic second profession, does Lazarus see himself eye to eye with these established artists? The artists’ demeanors in their portraits suggest they take the endeavor seriously as though in the presence of an equal.
