I recently posted the 1971 Village Voice obituary of photographer Diane Arbus. Here’s a good doc about her from the following year, which features her daughter Doon.

From a 2003 New York Times piece by Arthur Lubow: “‘Giving a camera to Diane Arbus is like giving a hand grenade to a baby,’ Norman Mailer said after seeing how she had captured him, leaning back in a velvet armchair with his legs splayed cockily. The quip was funny, but a little off base. A camera for Arbus was like a latchkey. With one around her neck, she could open almost any door. Fearless, tenacious, vulnerable — the combination conquered resistance.”
