Diane Arbus by Allan Arbus
I love her...
"but sometimes I kind of like that dumbness. It’ll do, you know."
"The most striking aspect of Arbus' work is that she seems to have enrolled in one of art photography's most vigorous enteprises - concentrating on victims, on the unfortunate, but without the compassionate purpose that such a project is expected to serve. Her work shows people who are pathetic, pitiable, but it does not arouse any compassionate feelings. The photos don't allow the viewer to be distant from the subject." Susan Sontag
May she rest in peace
