Diane Arbus: American Photographer

She has been called a photographer who is exploitative, and voyeuristic, yet also brave and brilliant in her skills. Diane Arbus was known as the “photographer of freaks” and a huntress with her camera (Bosworth) yet she had an affection for her subjects and formed relationships with them.

She was born a wealthy and privileged child whose parents owned a large department store. The family lived in a sprawling large apartment by New York’s Central Park. She and her two siblings all attended a private preparatory school in Manhattan. When she was just 18 years old she married a stock boy, Allen Arbus who worked at her father’s department store. She stated in an interview “I found the family fortune humiliating” (Bosworth 45) and wanting to live apart from this lifestyle. Her husband was stationed in the Army and began to take photography lessons. He taught her what he had learned about takingand devloping photos and they started a business together when his Army term ended.

She and her husband started taking fashion pictures for her father’s department store and for other magazines such as Glamour, Seventeen and Vogue (Estrin). She stated that she hated working with the fashion models, the fashion designers and the fashion business drama (Bosworth). She began to distance herself from fashion photography and began to take random shots of people in Central Park and on New York City streets. These were towards the genre of documentary type photography. She captured everyday lives of her subjects, and her subjects were typically not beautiful, but flawed in some fashion.

Arbus was described in being attracted to subjects that were shocking or sad or puzzling to the viewer. Some felt that her interest with photographing the developmentally disabled from The Woodbridge State School was inappropriate and that she photographed them to accentuate their “strangeness” (Palumbo). Her collection is filled with odd characters living on the fringes of society such as sideshow performers, transgender subjects, twins, and subjects in the morgue, the developmentally delayed, nudist, dwarfs and the deformed.

Arbus herself, liked to partake in risky and shocking behaviors, she partook in sex with strangers at orgys and swinger’s parties, and would wander the streets of N.Y.C at 2:00 am (Bosworth). Arbus contracted hepatitis, and her underlying depression became worse. She committed suicide by slitting her wrists. She had written “Last Supper” in her diary that day.

Posthumously, much of her work was published in books by her daughters. Her photographs have been displayed at countless Art Museums and galleries. A bio-fictional movie was produced that stars Nicole Kidman. Countless journal articles and several books have also been compiled on her life and talent.

“At a time when Olympus and Panasonic lens prices are going through the roof, Sigma offers these three f/1.4 ‘Contemporary’ lenses at sensible prices. Do they sacrifice sharpness, focus speed or build quality to price? Having owned, used and reviewed – many Sigma lenses over the years, I didn’t anticipate any nasty surprises and I didn’t find any. There were some nice surprises, though….”

Commentary

Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary fast prime lens in M43-mount and E-Mount on Sony and Olympus cameras.

Former Fleet Street press photographer David Thorpe is one of the least-known though most-respected YouTube reviewers with a speciality in Micro Four Thirds system cameras and lenses, though I suspect he will be bending that speciality soon with coming reviews of Panasonic’s Lumix S-Series S1 and S1R 35mm sensor format cameras and lenses.

I have no hands-on experience of Sigma lenses whether prime or zoom, though I was lucky enough to inspect Paul Leeming’s Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art zoom lens with Canon EF-mount that he has adapted for his Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and was impressed enough with its optics and construction that I am hoping to buy one of my own some time soon.

Clearly Sigma has something good going for it with its membership of the L-Mount alliance alongside Panasonic and Leica, and Mr Thorpe’s review of these three Sigma Contemporary collection prime lenses supports that impression.

With their 35mm sensor format equivalent focal lengths of 32mm, 60mm and 112mm, and fast, wide maximum apertures of f/1.4, and very reasonable pricing, these three lenses look well worth considering for use in stills photography.

I am now looking for some hard-core technical reviews of them for consideration as video lenses too.

My current impression of Sigma’s Contemporary lenses is that they are designed to work in connection with in-camera and image editing raw processing software for correction of any possible optical distortion, whereas Sigma’s Art lens collection that includes the 18-35mm f/1.8 zoom is designed to the finest of optical standards to obviate the need for correction in software.

That aside, I have been looking for a medium telephoto portrait lens for Micro Four Thirds for some time now, and Sigma’s 56mm f/1.4 DC DN C may well fill the bill.

I originally got into portrait photography with Nikon’s Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/4.0 lens and focal lengths closer to 105mm in the 35mm sensor format are my first choice for work in the genre, so the 112mm equivalent of the 56mm lens is not a bad fit.

Similarly, I discovered long ago that my preferred main focal length for immersive documentary and photojournalism work is 28mm in the 35mm sensor format, and Sigma’s 16mm f/1.4 DC DN C with its 32mm equivalent focal length is not too far from that.

I like to be able to use my lenses for cinematography and photography, and prefer lenses that perform well in both applications given raw processing can correct optical distortions in still images but non-linear editing software cannot do the same for video.

My favourite raw processing software for raw files shot on Panasonic cameras is DxO PhotoLab so I am hoping that DxO has added camera-and-lens profiles for all three of these Sigma lenses for recent and current Lumix cameras to its database.

Off to DxOMark and time to drop into some camera stores to touch, try and shoot some sample pix with these three lenses so I can crack some raw files open in DxO PhotoLab, DxO FilmPack and DxO ViewPoint.

8 Must-See Shows During Miami Art Week

You’re simply spoiled for choice when the best in art and design converge in South Florida for Miami Art Week. With over 20 fairs to visit and many more satellite events, installations, and parties to attend, there’s something to suit every taste, whether you are a collector, enthusiast, or just curious.

From December 5–10, there will be countless treasures to behold at Art Basel in Miami Beach, DesignMiami, Untitled, NADA, and Pulse, but here we highlight the exhibitions and installations you shouldn’t miss.

Ponytail #2 (2016), Mika Rottenberg Courtesy of the artist and Galerie Laurent Godin, Paris

1. ‘Mika Rottenberg,’ The Bass

Newly-renovated and reopened, The Bass is hosting an eponymous exhibition of Mika Rottenberg’s work of the past two years. The Argentinian creates video and installation art that presents socio-economical structures and their relationship to gender in disarming ways. Several pieces will be making their U.S. debut, along with NoNoseKnows (Artist Variant) (2015), which was first shown at the 56th Venice Biennale.

“Mika Rottenberg” is on view at The Bass Museum of Art, 2100 Collins Avenue Miami Beach, FL from December 7, 2017–April 30, 2018

Courtesy of the artist and Nina Johnson Gallery

2. ‘Katie Stout: Narcissus,’ Nina Johnson Gallery

Katie Stout’s singular view of domestic space through furniture and lighting have made the RISD grad an acclaimed designer, and for good reason. Her objects are raw and unpolished, outwardly abject, though contain an inherent sweetness. Her solo show is comprised of new work conveying a narrative about the female form and domestic decoration in a uniquely Stoutian way.

“Katie Stout: Narcissus” is on view at Nina Johnson Gallery, 6315 NW 2nd Ave Miami, FL from December 4, 2017–January 6, 2018

Studio Drift, FRANCHISE FREEDOM (rendering), 2017 © Studio Drift

3. ‘Studio Drift: Franchise Freedom,’ the Beach Behind Faena Hotel

To realize this aerial performative piece, the Amsterdam-based duo, Studio Drift, have partnered with BMW to present FRANCHISE FREEDOM, a “flying sculpture” comprised of over 300 drones programmed to simulate the flight patterns of birds. Questioning how autonomy functions within group dynamics, the designers devised algorithms to mimic the natural motion of starling clusters, bringing a thrilling combination of art, science, and technology to the beach.

“FRANCHISE FREEDOM” is on view at the beach behind the Faena Hotel, above the sea | between 32nd and 33rd Street off Collins Avenue, Miami Beach FL from December 7-10, 2017 (please check Instagram @studio.drift, @pacegallery and Facebook #bmwgroupculture for final date and time)

4. ‘Close Encounters III,’ LOEWE Foundation

Inside of its Miami Design District store, LOEWE is presenting the third installment of its Foundation’s exhibition to champion craftsmanship in contemporary art and design. Lionel Wendt (1900-1944), Richard Smith (1931-2016) and Sara Flynn, whose asymmetrical ceramic vessels are shown above, are this year’s participants; their work presents shadows and formal relationships between objects as the focal visual themes.

“Close Encounters III” is on view at LOEWE, Miami Design District 110 NE 39th Street, Suite #102, Miami, FL from December 4, 2017–February 4, 2018

5. ‘Lars Jan, Slow-Moving Luminaries,’ Audemars Piguet Art Commission

Lars Jan, a performance and installation artist, is known to utilize technology in his practice, so a commission with Audemars Piguet (the watchmaker’s third art commission) is a perfect platform with which to present his kinetic, time-based artwork. Visitors are immersed in the pavilion and confronted by light, mechanics, and video that display images of a built environment in peril by rising water levels. The structure becomes illuminated after dusk, providing a heightened dramatic intensity to the work.

“Slow-Moving Luminaries” is on view between 21st and 22nd streets (next to Collins Park), Miami, FL from December 7–10, 2017

Allison Zuckerman, Woman at her Toilette (2017), Courtesy of the artist and Rubell Family Collection, Miami

6. ‘Allison Zuckerman: Stranger in Paradise,’ Rubell Family Collection

Working in the foundation’s main gallery, Allison Zuckerman realized the works on view while she was an artist-in-residence. The resulting large-format paintings and sculptures blend the historical and the contemporary, the analog and the digital. To create her Pop-Surrealist paintings, Zuckerman mixes the processes of photography and painting to transform brushstrokes into printed pixilated markings that are then applied to the canvas as collage.

“Allison Zuckerman: Stranger in Paradise” is on view at the Rubell Family Collection, 95 NW 29th Street, Miami, FL from December 6, 2017–August 25, 2018

7. ‘ABSTRACT / NOT ABSTRACT,’ The Moore Building

Devoted to the myriad ways that abstraction can be realized in painting, this exhibition features an impressive roster of artists whose works embody what it can mean to be “abstract.” Co-organized by Jeffrey Deitch and Larry Gagosian, “Abstract / Not Abstract” presents pieces made through different techniques or approaches that uphold the notion that “one of the great innovations of modernism” is continually evolving – the contemporary artists included have contributed to its development in surprising and innovative ways.

“ABSTRACT / NOT ABSTRACT” is on view at The Moore Building in The Miami Design District, 191 NE 40th Street, Miami, FL from December 6–10, 2017

The opening exhibition is on view at The Bunker, 444 Bunker Road, West Palm Beach, FL by appointment.

Representatives of the Dakota Nation, artist Sam Durant, the Walker Art Center, and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, agreed to ceremonially burn Durant’s 2012 work, “Scaffold.” The sculpture depicts seven historically specific gallows, including the one used to hang 38 Native men in Mankato, Minnesota at the end of the US-Dakota War of 1862. The work sparked protests last week, just over a month after it was installed at the Walker Art Center’s sculpture garden.

Activists called for the removal of a Confederate memorial in Forest Park, St. Louis. A crowd funding campaign launched by the city’s treasurer, Tishaura O. Jones, has so far raised over $15,000.

A noose was found inside the National Museum of African American History and Culture less than a week after a Smithsonian Police officer discovered a noose hanging from a tree in the grounds of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Large crowds gathered at the NMAAHC to express their support for the institution.

A statue of Lady Justice was removed from outside the supreme court in Dhaka, Bangladesh following sustained pressure from prominent Islamist organizations including Hefazat-e-Islam and Olama League. Officials subsequently ordered that the sculpture be moved to a new location near an annex building about 300 yards away.

Noel Hilliam, a fringe historian with connections to the far-right, potentially faces a $300,000 fine for exhuming human remains from a Māori burial site. Hilliam reportedly told the press that he removed the remains in an attempt to prove that the Māori were not the first people in New Zealand.
