IN THE BEGINNING - Diane Arbus
IN THE BEGINNING presents an unprecedented survey of the early work of preeminent twentieth-century artist Diane Arbus. Her photographs of children and eccentrics, couples and circus performers, female impersonators and nudists, are among the most recognizable images of our time. This book is the definitive study of the artist's first seven years of work, from 1956 to 1962. Drawn primarily from the rich collections of the Diane Arbus Archives at the Metropolitan Museum - a remarkable treasure trove of photographs, negatives, appointment books, notebooks and correspondence - it is an essential contribution to our understanding of Arbus and his work. The book offers a crucial, in-depth presentation of the artist's genesis, showing Diane Arbus as she developed her evocative and often haunting imagery. The photographs presented in this handsome volume reveal an artist defining her style, refining her subject matter, and fully owning the many gifts for which she is now recognized worldwide.
