DIANE ARBUS


Diane Arbus


A tragic figure,

Always seeing the obscure


Taking portraits of empathy

Unable to escape the images in her mind

A tortured restless soul


Giving compassion to others, showing their beauty

Unable to see her own


The ups and downs

Black and white


Her parents encouraged her

Stieglitz influenced her

Showing her Brady and O'Sullivan


With her husband she did advertising

Restless and blue, taking after her mother

Popular with magazines


She didn't know she was like a modern Van Gogh

  1. I like this lady a lot. I learned about her in my photography class last semester. Her pictures are very unique and interesting.

  2. This was a nice poem, but it's so sad how her life ended. She had such talent.
