Halloween photos by Diane Arbus (i IV)
His Serene Highness, Prince Robert de Rohan Courtenay, 1961
Diane Arbus was born in New York City on March 14th 1923. Arbus lived a privileged life as a child and had the assistance of a governess. She married photographer Allan Arbus in 1941. Diane was giv…
The recent biography, Diane Arbus: Portrait of a Photographer, brought new attention to her life. New York’s Met Breuer will put the focus back on her work. On display at The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s new space for modern and contemporary art, diane arbus: in the beginning features over 100 photographs from the first seven years of her career […]
Andy Warhol, Green Marilyn (1962) Holy fuck, has it really been fifteen years since Being John Malkovich came out? I still think of that as a “new” movie, but of course it’s not anymore. Everyone’s favorite scene from Being John Malkovich is the brief reverie in which we discover what happens when John Malkovich himself descends into the Malkovich portal (that scene is embedded below). If you’re in Chicago this holiday season, you might want to take an hour to check out an amusing photography exhibit that seems inspired by that very scene, even the title. Sandro Miller’s “ Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters” is a whimsical and yet, by all appearances, high-overhead project in which Miller has recreated roughly thirty of the most famous portraits of the twentieth century, by photographers famous enough for you to have heard of—names like Avedon, Arbus, Lange, Warhol, Mapplethorpe, Halsman, Leibovitz, etc. You can catch it from November 7 to January 31 at Catherine Edelman Gallery on 300 W. Superior St in Chicago. The whole thing is quite a hoot—Malkovich’s fleshy mug manages (in part thanks to Being John Malkovich) to imbue every last pic with a feeling...
when did you stop loving me...when did i stop loving you? Marvin Gaye Fashion Independents: On Marriage Mr. and Mrs. Paul Lester Wiener DIANE ARBUS "If Ovid possessed the secret of successful marriage when he wrote '"If thou wouldst marry wisely, marry thy equal,"' then the eight lovely ladies and their distinguished gentlemen on these pages bear contemporary evidence to his ancient prescription. Perfectly balanced with each other, their lives - and their looks - are as vigourously independent as their views on the interesting state of matrimony." Georgiana and Armando Orsini DIANE ARBUS Isabel and Fred Eberstadt DIANE ARBUS Jane and John Gruen DIANE ARBUS Penetrating Light "Another crucial element of Arbus' technique was her use of lighting. During the daytime she would usually rely on natural light, which would often produce an ambient effect, placing the photograph at a specific time of day. The portrait of John Gruen and Jane Wilson shot for Harper's Bazaar in 1965 features light so bright that it engulfs the entire room and suggests an afternoon shoot. The photograph also illustrates Arbus' use of strong, almost overpowering, backlighting. In this photo and in many others (but more noticeable in her commercial work) the incoming light from the background windows blurs the physical boundaries of their frames and produces an ethereal effect that adds a dreamy prominence to the subjects because of the high contrast lighting conditions. Beginning in the early 60s, when natural lighting wasn't available or sufficient, Arbus would often use flash. Besides illuminating an area, Arbus' use of flash in many instances produced a distorted effect that heightened the surreal feeling of her work."

Diane Arbus' exhibition of her early work, titled "In The Beginning", allows viewers to pick through the collection and uncover its secrets slowly.
The exhibition diane arbus: in the beginning gathers images the photographer shot between 1956 and 1962, when she started using the distinctive Rolleiflex camera with which she captured her most famous photos.
Her retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art draws to a close
No matter how deep the inroads of cultural theory, no matter how many Jeff Walls, Christopher Williams, and articles in October appear, Diane Arbus won’t go away. Concept-free, she has the dark photographic gift that still thrills the millions, the uncomfortable invasiveness, the perpetually adolescent, socially maladapted, alienation-fueled, identity (and sex)…

It’s not often that we get to be present for a posthumous lecture given by the deceased being honored. An Evening with Diane Arbus and Marvin Israel, presented at the School of Visual Arts in collaboration with the Aperture Foundation, was just that. Out of the pure darkness of a hushed theater came the crackling sound of Diane Arbus’ voice, saying cheerfully as a slide machine started to whirr, “Let me show you some pictures.” What proceeded was a shy, stumbling, incredibly humorous and deeply meaningful lecture by the infamous and famous artist herself. On the 40th anniversary of the artist’s suicide in the summer of 1971, this presentation is a recording of a lecture Arbus gave about her artwork, interests and motivations as she saw them in 1970

The largest magazine assignment by Diane Arbus addressed how New York City had supplanted Paris as the epicenter of the art world.
Fierce debates over the compelling, or disturbing, portraits taken by Diane Arbus have occupied critics intensely perhaps because the controversial questions that surround her work fall so far outside the provenance of the frame. Inherently juicy issues of privilege, power, and the psyche of the artist provoke and enrage. Arguments and speculations cross perennially contested … Continue reading "“A Photograph is a Secret About a Secret”: Diane Arbus’ New York Park Portraits"
