Diane Arbus (1923-1971)

Truly inspirational person, Diane Arbus was one of the most distinctive photographers in the twentieth century, known for her eerie portraits and offbeat subjects. Her artistic talents emerged at a young age; she was created interesting drawings and paintings while in high school. She married Allan Arbus in 1941 who taught her photography.

She was too beautiful to survive in the fallen world, just like Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix.
