Although I am huge fan of documentaries, I never got into him. Seeing the Arbus show in person did make a HUGE difference. It's (just a little) like seeining a Van Gogh in person which I found very flat in person.Jennifer Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931457867406555423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20502279.post-1158971208057752342006-09-22T17:26:00.000-07:002006-09-22T17:26:00.000-07:00Have you seen the Herzog movie Even Dwarves Start ...Have you seen the Herzog movie Even Dwarves Start Small- it raises those Arbus-esque squirms of discomfort even more than she does. <BR/><BR/>I love her too but she was one of those artists that it was easy for me to grab onto when I was teenager- so she had a big impact- in the same way I could grab Plath's Daddy or Lady Lazerus- then Plath has opened up for me- now I ignore those poems and focus on ones like Morning Song - which I totally didn't get then. The problem with Arbus is that she hasn't opened so much as I've gotten older. I should have seen the show, that likely would have done it... like you I've seen only tiny amounts of her work in person.Andrea Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128006533753276526noreply@blogger.com
