This book is the only one in which Arbus focuses on a single subject.
Shot over several years, the images of patients in several homes for the mentally retarded are compelling. However, I found the reality to be a little bit too "unflinching". Although Arbus photographs her subjects with compassion I still felt a twinge of exploitation. I found the book hard to get through.
According to the notes, Arbus was thrilled with the body of work, however it remained unpublished for quite a while (the photos were taken from '69-'71). Diane Arbus was indeed a tortured soul herself, and perhaps found a connection with these poor people who are so dis-connected from our society. As an artistic endevour the book is fantastic, too harsh for me though."
"I'm having a really, really hard time with this one. I should have seen it coming, knowing as I already did what the subject matter was -- but I didn't."
"the first of her books i acquired and still the most moving. something changed in her eye. something was added to the clear-eyed openness of her most famous images. i think it is joy or peace -but words will always fail. that's the essence of photography and why - a word person to the core - i am so grateful for the place she takes me. the afterword by her daughter is wonderful in every way."
