America, Seen Through Photographs, Darkly.
Key Points:
- Walt Whitman tried to push past beauty and ugliness and tried to look at things for how they actually were
- Edward Steichen helped portray beautiful photography of things that aren't typically labelled as "beautiful"
- Walker Evans & Alfred Stieglitz took "real pictures" - not trying to capture beauty, but reality.
- Arbus' photographs convey the anti-humanist message; she always has a purpose with her photographs
