Some of you know the answer to that question. (Sort of…right?)
But if you don’t, you should watch the documentary Finding Vivian Maier. It’s a fascinating story that is sure to engage most viewers (i.e. even non-readers of The Art Caravan.) Click here for a brief trailer for the movie.
Who was Vivian Maier? Well, she was an enigma, and an amazing, prolific photographer.
There was a fascination CBC interview with a Toronto gallery owner, Stephen Bulgar, who I believe either discovered the pictures or has some or whatever the link. The interview is available on line. Loved the trailer and will watch the film. She reminds me in some ways of Diane Arbus.
I will look for the interview. Thanks, Diane. In the film, her similarities/influences are discussed, and Diane Arbus is, indeed, mentioned.
