I think that that the deceptively simple nature of Arbus's pictures technically gives rise to the contrary notions that have been expressed here. They are certainly not simple intellectually. Nor are they simple to make. If you think so, go out and try to duplicate that style of work. Many have tried and many have failed miserably.
