Diane Arbus And Annie Leibovitz: Comparing Photographic Style
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The divergent styles of Diane Arbus and Annie Leibovitz address a culture that is constantly changing. Clearly, Arbus' so-called abnormal approach to photography was considered quite shocking during its time; however, the artist did not allow social dictates to mold her creativity, but rather gained even more motivation from the vast array of reactions she received. Leibovitz, while decidedly more mainstream in her style, still puts forth a message through her work that addresses the ongoing quest for gender equality. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Diane Arbus/Identical Twins
[ send me this 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.
