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.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough an assemblage of articles, criticism, and essays from 1967 to the present, \u003ci\u003eDiane Arbus Documents \u003c\/i\u003echarts the reception of the groundbreaking photographer's work and offers comprehensive insight into the critical conversations, as well as misconceptions, around the artist and her work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIlluminating 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.
