Diane Arbus (born Diane Nemerov) (March 14, 1923 – July 26, 1971) was an Americanphotographer, noted for her portraits of people on the fringes of society. (Her first name was pronounced "Dee-ann.")
Early life
Arbus was born in New York City into a wealthy Jewish family, in which she was overshadowed by her older brother, the poet, Howard Nemerov. Arbus fell in love with future-actor Allan Arbus at age 14, and married him soon after turning 18, despite her parents' objections. When Allan started training as a photographer for the US Army, he taught Diane his lessons. She also learned about photography through photographer, Lisette Model. The Arbuses ran a successful fashion photography studio for 20 years, before separating in 1959. The Arbuses had two daughters, photographer Amy Arbus and writer and art director Doon Arbus.
