Thank you, Vincent, for running the last challenge and thank you to everyone who participated and voted. It is an honor to be chosen. Without further ado, this month's artist is Diane Arbus. She has been done before, but it's been 11 years and I was captivated by her b&w portraits.
According to ArtNet, "Diane Arbus was an American photographer best known for her intimate black-and-white portraits. Arbus often photographed people on the fringes of society, including the mentally ill, transgender people, and circus performers. Interested in probing questions of identity, Arbus’s Identical Twins, Roselle, New Jersey (1967), simultaneously captured the underlying differences and physical resemblance of twin sisters. “A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know,” she once mused."
