Diane Arbus
Diane Arbus was born March 14, 1923 and died July 26, 1971, she was an american photographer who was well known for taking pictures of deviant and marginal people; dwafs, giants transvestites, nudists and circus performers. Pictures with these types of people in were very unusual back then as society were not used to it, you wouldnt usually see them in pictures as people thought they were ugly and surreal, however Diane wanted to find out more about them, she was interested in them as they were not like everyone else; they were different. Diane was known"as the photographer of freaks" back when she was taking the pictutres, but now people look at her work to see how magnificent the pictures were.
Diane Arbus took this picture in 1962, a small boy clenching his right hand round a toy grenade whilst his left hand clenched in a claw like gesture. The boys expression shows confusion, it kind of looks as if he is in shock about what is going on around him.
Diane used to take pictures of a variety of things but some of her main well known images, are of the Matthaei family. Her most famous picture was of the daughter, 'Marcelle Matthaei' at elevn years old.
