Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Diane Arbus's startling photographic images of dwarfs, twins, transvestites, and freaks seemed from the first to redefine both the normal and the abnormal in our lives; they were already becoming part of the iconography of the age when Arbus committed suicide in 1971. Arbus herself remained an enigma until the publication of this first full biography. Patricia Bosworth examines the life behind the eerie, mesmerizing photographs: Diane's pampered childhood; her passionate marriage to Allan Arbus and their work together as fashion photographers during the fifties; the emotional upheaval surrounding the end of that marriage; and the radically dark, liberating, and ultimately tragic turn Diane's art took during the sixties. Bosworth's engrossing book is a compassionate portrait of the woman behind some of the most powerful photographs of our time. Trade edition; first printing as indicated by the complete number string 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 on the publication history page. This is a used book. Pages are clean and bright with no markings, notes, or highlighting. Covers show only minor shelf wear and are not creased. Price tag on rear cover. No owner's marks or bookplates, not ex-library. Binding is tight and square, however two of the pages of photographs are loose. All 16 pages of photographs are present. Corners lightly bumped. A good reading copy. Seller Inventory # M0532
