Her best known pictures are of people. Composition isn't that exciting, generally the subject square in the center and looking straight at the camera. What was so different about her work was the focus was upon the relationship between the subject and photographer and their environment. Most of the meaning found in her work is implied. www.artphotogallery.org has a decent collection of her stuff, but you'll need to do a Google search to see her "freaks," which she is probably best known for, besides the twins and child with a toy grenade.<BR/><BR/>No worries about not knowing her. As far as I can tell, the only photographer whose name, not just their photos, is known is Ansel Adams.<BR/><BR/>This just occurred to me, you know who Uelsmann is then? I'm impressed.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274660453927949076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12093113.post-42257605288402101492007-07-20T12:06:00.000-05:002007-07-20T12:06:00.000-05:00I'm sorry to be ignorant, but who is/was Arbus?I'm sorry to be ignorant, but who is/was Arbus?Emmetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194499929611680977noreply@blogger.com
