Diane Arbus

Couple in bed under paper lantern, N.Y.C.

Diane Arbus presents a voyeuristic view of a couple in bed beneath a delicate paper lantern in New York City. The gelatin silver print, printed later by Neil Selkirk, captures the vulnerability and intimacy of domestic life with Arbus's characteristic unflinching gaze.
