Home > > Books & Media > Met Publications > Diane Arbus Revelations

Her bold subject matter, unique photographic practice, and gift for rendering strange those things we consider most familiar have established Diane Arbus (American, 1923–1971) as a preeminent visual artist. This publication explores the origins, scope, and aspirations of what is a wholly original force in photography; Arbus's frank treatment of her subjects and her faith in the intrinsic power of the medium have produced a body of work that is often shocking in its purity and in its steadfast celebration of things as they are. Included are many of the artist's lesser-known or previously unpublished photographs in the context of iconic images that reveal a subtle yet persistent view of the world.
336 pages, 200 duotone photographs. 12 1/2'' x 9 3/4''. Paper or Hardcover; clothbound with jacket.
