According to Kimmelman, how have contemporary artists incorporated Arbus's work?

  • In abstract form

  • As a backdrop

  • In their own work often

  • Have not incorporated it at all

Answer

In his 2011 article, Kimmelman argues that contemporary artists have often incorporated Arbus's work into their own, drawing inspiration from her approach to photography and her interest in documenting the everyday lives of ordinary people. He cites examples such as Nan Goldin's photographs of her friends and family, Cindy Sherman's staged self-portraits, and Larry Clark's gritty portrayals of youth culture.
