Arbus's black-and-white photographs demolish aesthetic conventions and upend all certainties. Both lauded and criticized for her photographs of people deemed \"outsiders,\" Arbus continues to be a lightning rod for a wide range of opinions surrounding her subject matter and approach. Critics and writers have described her work as \"sinister\" and \"appalling\" as well as \"revelatory,\" \"sincere,\" and \"compassionate.\" Through an assemblage of articles, criticism, and essays from 1967 to the present, \u003ci\u003eDiane Arbus Documents\u003c\/i\u003e charts the reception of the revolutionary photographer's work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Illuminating fifty years of evolution in the field of art criticism, \u003ci\u003eDocuments\u003c\/i\u003e provides a new template for understanding the work of any formidable artist.
