After a recent visit to the NY MoMA, I discovered how wonderfully freakishly Diane Arbus is able to capture her subjects. Look at their faces, they live for the camera! That little boy with the grenade in his hand creeps the hell out of me. Then again, that is the whole point of Arbus' work. She lived for the outcasts and rebels of society.
Diane Arbus is currently showing as part of the "Pictures by Women: A History of Modern Photography" exhibition at the NY MoMA through April 4th, 2011.
As my best friend would say: "Go get some culture in you!"
