"An Emergency in Slow Motion" I was very much looking forward to this book and pre-ordered months before it was available. I must admit that at first I was a bit disappointed. If you have read the Patricia Bosworth biography and the "Revelations," collection there is very little new information here. Rather than seeking out a lot of new sources or going back and doing follow up interviews on old sources, Schultz repeats familiar quotes regarding Arbus and surrounds them with his own personal analysis. He seems intelligent and a more than decent writer but his interpretation. "An Emergency In Slow Motion- The Inner Life of Diane Arbus" according to Francis C. Cary. William Todd Schultz's psycho biography, "An Emergency in Slow Motion, The Inner Life of Diane Arbus", is a psychological interpretation of Diane Arbus' interior life and how it influenced her photographic work. Conversely, Schultz also looked at how Arbus' work - her subject matter - may have affected her psyche. Most of the author's resources came from previously published books and articles. He added a few personal interviews, one with Ms. Arbus' psychologist, Helen Boigon, and the other with one of her potential photographic subjects, the K. "Wanted to Like This Book" according to Maine Coaster. I stumbled upon this book in a very hip Manhattan Photo/Art Bookstore. Asked if anyone had read it, and no one had. When I purchased it, I said something like, "It's either going to be good, or very bad". Unfortunately, it is more psychobabble than insight into Diane Arbus and/or her work. As other reviewers have noted, there is very little new here, and if you have read Revelations and Bosworth's biography, there's not much to be gained. Of course, when you have an estate obsessed with keeping information from the public, and a book about a ph

Diane Arbus was one of the most brilliant and revered photographers in the history of American art. Schultz veers from traditional biography to interpret Arbus's life through the prism of four central mysteries: her outcast affinity, her sexuality, the secrets she kept and shared, and her suicide. Her portraits, in stark black and white, seemed to reveal the psychological truths of their subjects. In this approach, Schultz not only goes deeper into Arbus's life than any previous writer, but provides a template with which to think about the creative life in general.Schultz's careful analysis is informed, in part, by the recent release of some of Arbus's writing and work by her estate, as well as by interviews with Arbus's psychotherapist. An Emergency in Slow Motion combines new revelations and breathtaking insights into a must-read psychobiography about a monumental artist-th
An Emergency in Slow Motion is the book Arbus's legions of admirers have long waited for: a vivisection of her psyche that allows us--the voyeurs she made of us--to understand her stark, accusatory vision.” Kathryn Harrison, author of The Kiss“This portrait of the art and psyche of Diane Arbus is exciting and wrenching and full of revelations. His triumph lies in making her suicide the one thing you don't see when you return to her images. Above all, Schultz shows how the photographer projected her inner torment and sense of estrangement onto her unsuspecting sitters." --The Economist"Schultz sifts and shapes his material with flair, working towards Arbus's death with all the planning of a good thriller. -The Telegraph"Poignant and provocative, An Emergency in Slow Motion of
