George,
I disagree. Jim has a streak of humour in his photographs, which is
the underlying emotion in his work. Arbus was into weirdness for the
sake of shock value. She is not a photographer whose work appeals to
me at all. Neither does Arthur Tress - too artificial and staged for
shock value as well. YMMV, of course.
Cheers
Jayanand
