This research paper: A 3 page formal analysis of a photo by Diane Arbus which is located at the Laurence Miller Gallery entitled "Identical Twins." New York photographer Diane Arbus (1923-1971) has been typically known by her depictions of "'freaks'--transvestites, dwarves, giants, circus performers and eccentrics" (Gross 1). However, as the photos on display at the Laurence Miller Gallery illustrate, Arbus was also adept at showing the underlying reality of more everyday images and ordinary people, and how this reality is often incongruent with the way that people are usually photographed. Referred to as "a Sylvia Plath with a camera," Arbus was adept at exploiting the "psychological trauma" of the people who posed for her photos (Gross 1). This point is illustrated by the discussed photo. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
