Footnotes: Provenance Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco Acquired from the above by the present owner Literature Diane Arbus: Revelations (New York, 2003), p. 72 Note In this striking portrait, Diane Arbus captured a vulnerable moment as a young woman poses in her 'uniform' - which only consists of a small apron tied her waist - against the backdrop of the nudist camp where she works. Arbus's eye for the unconventional invites us to consider the complexities of identity within this unusual social landscape. In this cloistered community, she observed individuals who had shed the burdens of conventionality in both physical and psychological ways, leaving room for her to make a series of raw and unflinching portraits of human authenticity.
