To leave a comment or a question, or to see Arbus images, pop over to the original blog post Diane Arbus: 4 Little-Known Facts About Her Life That Can Make You a Better, More Successful Artist.

To read more about the benefits of shooting for quantity over quality when it comes to art, read about the study in my post: Is it Common for Artists to Have ADHD?Inspiring and Supportive Stories From Artists On How They Thrive Despite ADHD.

Go here to eyeball the photos of Graciella Iturbide. https://www.artnet.com/artists/graciela-iturbide/

Thoughtful documentary on Arbus featuring her daughter Doon, made in 1971. Well worth a watch.

Here is a good Diane Arbus biography by Bosworth to start your own research and form your own opinions on Arbus.

If you want to write real letters and send art mail to writers and artists you admire, bravo!

Here is some hints on how to find their address:

But How Do I Find the Address of the Artist or Writer?

Many authors dont list their physical address or email online.

So, how do you find the address of the artist or writer you just wrote this charming note to?

You just need to send it to their agent or publisher, who will gladly pass it on to them.
Google the “xyz publisher’s name, contact us” and you will usually find the info.

To find an author’s publisher, look at the bottom of the spine of a physical book of theirs. Or visit the library or a bookstore and look in the front matter..

Or go online. Find the book’s page on Amazon and press the “see inside” function if available. Scan down in the front matter till you see the publisher’s name, and the physical address will usually be right underneath.

To find an author’s agent, look in the acknowledgments of their latest book. They often give a shout-out to their agent.
Then, Google “xyz agent’s name, contact info” to get an email or physical mailing address.
If artists don’t list an email or mailing address, send it to them via their gallery or their publisher if they have authored a book.

Also, bloggers and other humans with a mailing list are usually legally required to list a snail mail postal address on the footer of every email they send out. Look there.
