<DIV><DIV><B>&ldquo;A spellbinding portrait&rdquo; of the tumultuous life and artistic career of one of the most creative photographers of the 1960s (<I>New York </I>magazine).</B><BR /> &#160;</DIV><DIV>Diane Arbus became famous for her intimate and unconventional portraits of twins, dwarfs, sideshow performers, eccentrics, and everyday &ldquo;freaks.&rdquo; Condemned by some for voyeurism, praised by others for compassion, she was nonetheless a transformative figure in twentieth-century photography and hailed by all for her undeniable genius. Her life was cut short when she committed suicide in 1971 at the peak of her career.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>In the first complete biography of Arbus, author Patricia Bosworth traces the arc of Arbus&rsquo;s remarkable life: her sheltered upper-class childhood and passionate, all-consuming marriage to Allan Arbus; her roles as wife and devoted mother; and her evolution from fashion photographer to critically acclaimed artist&mdash;one who forever altered the boundaries of photography.</DIV></DIV>
