Anderson Cooper by Diane Arbus
"Diane Arbus (née Nemerov) was born in New York City into a wealthy, Jewish family." Her art was a bit fascistic. Ordinary people, cleverly packaged, for the delectation of the wealthy and pampered. A sort of curatorial carnival sideshow with critical commentary. They're not like us, you know. We're "immune and exempt from circumstance." I suspect that if she turned her eye toward artists and their support cadres, "most original and influential" would turn to nada and a day job.
