Ci sono autori letterari più citati che letti e forse su questo piano regge un parallelismo con Arbus, di cui si conoscono benissimo poche foto e molto meno bene molte altre. Questo è il suo capolavoro, opera imprescindibile che cambia il corso della fotografia. E ancora una volta va riconosciuto a Szarkowski di aver capito tutto quando presentò nel 1967 Arbus, Winogrand e Friedlander. La fotografia del futuro era tutta lì.

"The thing that's important to know is that you never know. You're always sort of feeling your way."

The photographs here vary between being haunting and enchanting--all are affecting. Having Arbus' text about the photographs, particularly in the first half of the collection, is an added treasure that brings to life many of her characters, all of whom are just as unbelievable as some of the portraits shown here. This is, in truth, a fascinating and wonderful collection that acts as a step back in time. Absolutely recommended.
