Arbus is one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century, and has been on the Art Center's collections list for some time. Her images, usually of people, frame the world as a surreal place where even the most mundane subjects can be made humorous or uncanny. This work presents a baby crying and seemingly rage-filled rather than angelic or innocent. This is the first work by Arbus to enter the collections.
