Arbus's black-and-white photographs demolish aesthetic conventions and upend all certainties. Both lauded and criticized for her photographs of people deemed \"outsiders,\" Arbus continues to be a lightning rod for a wide range of opinions surrounding her subject matter and approach. Critics and writers have described her work as \"sinister\" and \"appalling\" as well as \"revelatory,\" \"sincere,\" and \"compassionate.\" Through an assemblage of articles, criticism, and essays from 1967 to the present, \u003ci\u003eDiane Arbus Documents\u003c\/i\u003e charts the reception of the revolutionary photographer's work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Illuminating fifty years of evolution in the field of art criticism, \u003ci\u003eDocuments\u003c\/i\u003e provides a new template for understanding the work of any formidable artist. Organized in eleven sections that focus on major exhibitions and significant events emerging from Arbus's work, as well as on her methods and intentions, the sixty-nine facsimiles of previously published articles and essays--an archive by all accounts--trace the discourse on Arbus, contextualizing her inimitable oeuvre. Supplemented by an annotated bibliography of more than six hundred entries and a comprehensive exhibition history, \u003ci\u003eDocuments\u003c\/i\u003e serves as an important resource for photographers, researchers, art historians, and art critics, in addition to students of art criticism and the interested reader alike.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiane Arbus \u003c\/b\u003e(1923-1971) is one of the most original and influential artists of the twentieth century. She studied photography with Berenice Abbott, Alexey Brodovitch, and Lisette Model and had her first published photographs appear in \u003ci\u003eEsquire\u003c\/i\u003e in 1960. In 1963 and 1966 she was awarded John Simon Guggenheim Fellowships and was one of three photographers whose work was the focus of \u003ci\u003eNew Documents\u003c\/i\u003e, John Szarkowski's landmark exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1967. Arbus's depictions of couples, children, female impersonators, nudists, New York City pedestrians, suburban families, circus performers, and celebrities, among others, span the breadth of the postwar American social sphere and constitute a diverse and singularly compelling portrait of humanity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMax Rosenberg\u003c\/b\u003e is an art historian and associate director of research and exhibitions at David Zwirner.
