| Lauro Morales -Diane Arbus |
It's Noirsville, a visually oriented blog celebrating the vast and varied sources of inspiration, all of the resulting output, and all of the creative reflections back, of a particular style/tool of film making used in certain film/plot sequences or for a films entirety that conveyed claustrophobia, alienation, obsession, and events spiraling out of control, that came to fruition in the roughly the period of the last two and a half decades of B&W film.

Noirsville Iconic Artwork/Photograph of the Week
Diane Arbus was one of the most distinctive photographers in the twentieth century, known for her eerie portraits and offbeat subjects. She married Allan Arbus in 1941 who taught her photography. She began to pursue taking photographs of people she found during her wanderings around New York City. She visited seedy hotels, public parks, a morgue, and other various locales. The raw quality of her work brought her recognition by the Museum of Modern Art. She committed suicide in her New York apartment on July 26, 1971. Her work remains a subject of intense interest, and a lot of it is quite Noir-ish.
