The top and middle rows of examples show Steiner's approach from 1948/1949, the solid background of the boardroom as the camera concentrates on the dramatically lit tycoon face. As well as the conventional Man of Power he parades for us the Seer (gazing into some new radiant dawning light) and the goggle-eyed psychopath. In 1950 the subject is pictured against a background indicative of the Company he represents. The locale amuses and challenges the subject in ways not explored before in the business press. |
