This issue of Artforum, with its five startling photographs and chilling cover by Diane Arbus, established her as a force to be reckoned with. "… [H]er singular, often shocking portraits emerged among the most iconic and modern images of the 1960s." She "famously wrote in 1971, 'A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know'" [Encyclopdia of Twentieth-Century Photography]. The plates are: [cover] "A patriotic boy with a straw hat, buttons and flag, waiting to march in a pro-war parade; NYC, 1967"; "This is Eddie Carmel, a Jewish giant with his parents in the living room of their home in the Bronx, N. Y. 1970"; "A Christmas tree in a living room in Levittown, Long Island, 1962"; "A young family in Brooklyn going for a Sunday outing. Their baby is named Dawn. Their son is retarded. 1966"; "Lauro Morales, a Mexican dwarf, in his hotel room in New York City, 1970"; "Identical twins, Cathleen and Colleen, members of a twins club in New Jersey. 1966." Profusely illustrated (part color). 94 pp. Paper covers. 26.9 x 26.6 cm. Other articles in the issue include Marcia Tucker on Joan Snyder; Phyllis Tuchman interviewing Robert Ryman; Robert Pincus-Witten on Chrisopher Wilmarth; John Elderfield on Constructivism; Selma G. Lanes on Maurice Sendak; Melvin Charney on architecture; and Joseph Masheck on the Panama Canal and other works of work. Nearly as new.
