Diane Arbus, by Patricia Bosworth

With FUR coming out starring Nicole Kidman as Diane Arbus, you might be interested in this highly recommended book by Patricia Bosworth.

Arbus’s work was so original, disturbing and brave, but she came from a background of privilege on the Upper East Side. How she came to her subject matter and in, to her own as a notable photographer was one of the most interesting stories of an artist’s development ever read. She was drawn to people on the fringe of society and became famous for photographing circus and side show performers, but she was interested in the imperfect humanity of people.
