Photography can be one of those rare art forms that can take a seemingly ordinary object and make it extraordinary. While many of us today enjoy taking plenty of digital pictures, most can agree that there are a select few that truly have the talent to continually capture a special moment of a special subject. One of the great photographers of the 20th century was Diane Arbus.
Diane Arbus: A Phenomenal Photographer
Unfortunately, like many great artists, Diane Arbus never achieved true notoriety or accolades for her photos until after her untimely death. Diane Arbus suffered from depression and this disease caused her to commit suicide in the early 1970’s at the age of 52. However, what Diane Arbus left behind is a monumental achievement in photography.
Diane Arbus and Her Photos
Diane Arbus is known for taking photos of the bizarre and those individuals that are sometimes seen at the fringes of society. She had an eye for finding those individuals that for some reason didn’t fit in with the rest of the population, but still fascinated us. There are plenty of masterpieces that Diane Arbus has taken and Diane as a person is interesting in herself. To read more about this master photographer, the Smithsonian Magazine has an article available at their main website. You can read it at the following link: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/
