In 1970, a year before committing suicide at the age of 48, Diane Arbus took a photograph of 'The Jewish Giant,' Eddie Carmel.
The picture shows Carmel, who stood 8-foot-9, slouching and bending forward at his waist so that he can fit in the home of his normal-sized parents.
That photograph encapsulates the brilliance and the agony of Diane Arbus Revelations (must-own catalog is here, at 35% off), at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the most complete survey of Arbus' work since 1972.
