Untitled 1971

Diane Arbus's 1971 photograph, "Untitled," showcases her signature style of capturing marginalized individuals. The image depicts two women, their faces partially obscured by elaborate floral hats, standing in a stark, urban setting. Arbus's use of black and white film and a close-up composition intensifies the subjects' expressions and creates a sense of intimacy, drawing the viewer into their world. This photograph, like many of Arbus's works, challenges societal notions of beauty and normalcy, prompting viewers to consider their own perceptions and biases.
