Artwork Description

Diane Arbus once said, "A photograph has to be of something and what it's of is always more remarkable than the photograph. And more complicated." Her photographs of couples, children, cross-dressers, nudists, pedestrians, families, and circus performers, among others, make up a diverse and compelling portrait of humanity.
