Photographers - Diane Arbus

Diane Arbus (March 14, 1923 – July 26, 1971) was an American photographer and writer noted for photographs of marginalised people like dwarfsgiants
transgender people, nudistscircus performer and others whose normality was perceived by the general populace as ugly or surreal.

Arbus experienced "depressive episodes" during her life, and committed suicide in 1972 at age 48. Arthur Lubow said, "If she was doing the kind of work she was doing and photography wasn’t enough to keep her alive, what hope did we have?”.
