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

I like this lady a lot. I learned about her in my photography class last semester. Her pictures are very unique and interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis was a nice poem, but it's so sad how her life ended. She had such talent.
