Diane Arbus

"Girl in her circus costume, Md." (1970) is reproduced from Aperture's classic Diane Arbus monograph, a featured title in the National Gallery of Art's current exhibition of seminal photography books following Robert Frank's The Americans. In the introductory text, Arbus is quoted, "I do feel I have some slight corner on something about the quality of things. I mean it's very subtle and a little embarrassing to me, but I really believe there are things which nobody would see unless I photographed them."
