{"product_id":"9781597111904","title":"Diane Arbus: Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUntitled\u003c\/i\u003e is the only volume of Diane Arbus' work devoted exclusively to a single project. The photographs were taken at residences for the mentally retarded between 1969 and 1971, in the last years of Arbus' life. Although she considered making a book on the subject, the vast majority of these pictures have remained unpublished until now. These photographs achieve a lyricism and an emotional purity that sets them apart from all her other accomplishments: “Finally what I've been searching for,” she wrote at the time. The product of her consistently unflinching regard for reality as she found it, \u003ci\u003eUntitled\u003c\/i\u003e may well be Arbus' most transcendent, most romantic vision. It is a celebration of the singularity and connectedness of each and every one of us, and demands of us what it demanded of her: the courage to see things as they are and the grace to permit them to simply be. For Diane Arbus, this is what making pictures was all about. \u003ci\u003eUntitled\u003c\/i\u003e includes an afterword by Doon Arbus, the photographer's daughter, who writes that the intent of these works “wasn't. . . about who or what she saw, but about the experience of seeing it and the power of her photographs to make that experience visible.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aperture Foundation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47035670135024,"sku":"9781597111904","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781597111904_p0.jpg?v=1763812716","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781597111904","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
