Jessie Wender of The New Yorker discusses “Diane Arbus’s Jewish Giant,” an exhibition at the Jewish Museum in New York that runs through 3 August 2014.
Freaks was a thing I photographed a lot…. There’s a quality of legend about freaks. Like a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you answer a riddle. Most people go through life dreading they’ll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They’ve already passed their test in life. They’re aristocrats. — Diane Arbus
