Diane Arbus – Photography, Obsession, and the Dark Side of Creativity
In this episode of The Mad Genius Thesis Podcast, we explore Diane Arbus: A Biography by Patricia Bosworth, a revealing look at the life of one of photography’s most provocative and enigmatic figures. Born into privilege but drawn to the margins of society, Arbus rejected convention to document the unusual, the grotesque, and the overlooked. Her work challenged notions of beauty and normalcy, but behind the lens, she battled depression, artistic obsession, and personal turmoil. How did her mental health struggles fuel her creative vision? What was the cost of her uncompromising pursuit of raw human truth? Join us as we examine the complex relationship between creativity, mental illness, and the haunting imagery of Diane Arbus.
