Diane Arbus: American portraits

The great American photographer Diane Arbus alongside a selection of work by her contemporaries in this travelling exhibition from the National Gallery of Australia.

The photographs of Diane Arbus (1923–1971) are powerful allegories of postwar America. Once seen they are rarely forgotten. Contemporary audiences found the way that Arbus approached the genre of portraiture confronting and her work continues to polarise opinion. The images raise difficult, uncomfortable questions concerning the intent of the photographer.
