Diane Arbus (1923-1971) was an American photographer. She photographed a wide range of subjects including strippers, carnival performers, nudists, people with dwarfism, children, mothers, couples, elderly people, and middle-class families.

👇 Further info in the 1st alt text.
"A young man and his girlfriend with hot dogs in the park, N.Y.C., 1971" She photographed her subjects in familiar settings: their homes, on the street, in the workplace, in the park. She expanded notions of acceptable subject matter and violates canons of the appropriate distance between photographer and subject. By befriending, not objectifying her subjects, she was able to capture in her work a rare psychological intensity. Arthur Lubow states, "She was fascinated by people who were visibly creating their own identities, cross-dressers, nudists, sideshow performers, tattooed men, the nouveaux riches, the movie-star fans, and by those who were trapped in a uniform that no longer provided any security or comfort." Michael Kimmelman writes in his review, her work "transformed the art of photography (she is everywhere, for better or worse, in the work of artists today who make photographs)." Arbus's imagery helped normalize marginalized groups and highlight the importance of proper representation of all people. In 1963 the Guggenheim Foundation awarded Arbus a fellowship for her proposal entitled, "American Rites, Manners and Customs". Her fellowship was renewed in 1966. John Szarkowski, director of photography at MoMA in NYC from 1962-91, championed her work and included it in his 1967 exhibit New Documents along with the work of Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand. In 1972, a year after her death, Arbus became the first photographer included in the Venice Biennale where her photographs were "the overwhelming sensation of the American Pavilion" and "extremely powerful and very strange". The first major retrospective of Arbus' work was in 1972 at MoMA, organized by Szarkowski. The retrospective garnered the highest attendance of any exhibition in MoMA's history to date. Arbus' book, "Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph," edited by Doon Arbus and Marvin Israel and first published in 1972, has never been out of print. "Female impersonator holding long gloves, Hempstead, L.I. 1959." "Teenage boy on a bench in Central Park, 1962" Two Ladies at the Automat, NYC, 1980

Welcome back artists!🖌🎨✨️

Quote Post with an old piece that you still like!
A pixel art rendition of a tarot card from the Pamela Smith designed deck. The card is Major Arcana XVIII, The Moon. Two dogs (in this art: wolves) stand in a field howling. In the foreground is water, with a lobster crawling up in the middle. On the shore there are plants and rocks, a few flowers. A path leads from the water up the middle of the scene and winds off into the hills. On the horizon stands two massive towers, one on each edge of the card. The towers are square and taper up, each features a single square window. The night sky is full of stars, and the Moon dominates most of the space at the top of the scene. The moon is stylized, a crescent moon with a face. In this version, the lit side of the moon is rendered more realistically.

Oil painting of a border collie standing crouched on a rocky outcrop over the river water. She is staring intently at the water surface. The paint drips as the image dissolves near the edges, like a memory.

He's a man of mysterious powers, whose infinite wisdom of the art world is rivaled only by his vast knowledge of adorable dogs (and we're here for both, honestly).

Digital cartoon art showing two panels. In the first, Calico Jack Rackham is saying: Y'know, I think that you'd make a perfect First Mate on my ship. In the second, Blackbeard is smugly sipping a drink, Izzy is on a counter wearing one of those spiky, anti-coyote vests people put small dogs into, and Jack is touching a spike while saying: Too bad your captain is a selfish prick.
