Diane Arbus
Born March of 1923 Diane Arbus grew up in Central Park West. When she turned 14, she met her future husband Allan Arbus and four years later they got married. They worked in the fashion industry as photographers and many of her great shots are from that time. Arbus' work in magazines were both very artistic and she got well paid. Arbus' photography career started in 1959 when she had been working with Lissette Model. In 1963 and 193 she received the Guggenheim fellowship for her style. John Szarkowski helped her with her first art exhibition in 1967 at the Museum of Modern Art. While Arbus was doing great and exploring the limits of photographic art her career unfortunately ended by her suicide on July 26, 1971.
I think this portrait picture is very interesting. I really like how she is standing more to one side and I like the shadow in the background. I also really like the models expression of looking a bit sad or upset.
