Diane Arbus

Diane Arbus · first published 1972 · ISBN 9780912334417

Published after Arbus's death, this Aperture monograph introduced her portraits to the world. She photographed sideshow performers, transgender people, children, and everyday New Yorkers with unflinching directness. Her subjects stare back at the camera with a strange honesty. The photographs don't judge or explain. They simply say: here is a person, fully themselves.
