Arthur Lubow, who has been a regular contributor to the New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, and Vanity Fair, discusses Diane Arbus: Portrait of a Photographer. A close-up and fast-moving narrative about the life of one of the great twentieth-century American artists, the biography reveals how Arbus was able to establish the intimacy with her subjects that resulted in photographs of unnerving power. Based on years of research, Lubow’s book brushes aside the clichés that have long surrounded Arbus and her work to tell a profoundly moving, previously unknown story.
