It’s a palette cleanser from Instagram. The new Diane Arbus show at the Musée des beaux arts de Montreal reminds us of photography as an art form as it was: a medium to capture a moment, a personality, a feeling, and to document something extraordinary or out of the ordinary.

It was gritty and real, not glossy and airbrushed.

Arbus is known for her images of clowns, circus performers, transvestites, couples, nudists and celebrities in and around New York. The show spans the years 1956-1971, when she died by su***de.

A few works that struck me: many spooky clowns in a car (1960); a young couple dancing at a ballroom championship (1962-63); four people at a gallery opening (1968); Mia Farrow (1964) and of course the identical twins of 1966, which grace the cover of the book, Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph.

Photography was not allowed at the gallery, so here are a few images supplied by the museum as well as the book cover.

The show goes Sept. 15-Jan. 29.

My faves from the red carpet Monday night. Winner: definitely Jung Ho-yeon of Squid Game in Louis Vuitton (though it seemed quite Chanel-like in its tweedy sparkle). Geena Davis in canary yellow Rani Zakhem and Jean Smart in Christian Siriano also impressed. And Zendaya can wear the proverbial paper sack and shine – and even made the Valentino Old Hollywood glamour gown look young. But all in all, there was not much to diss on the. (A bustle or ruffle here, a badly considered bodice there, perhaps.) Not naming names today.

More asking the internet: It was definitely time to upgrade my wooden salt and pepper mills. But somehow, I’m not quite sure about acrylic. Also and they last forever, so it’s important. Thoughts?

It’s good to get away. Final summer jaunt to Wolfe Isand and a very charming B&B. The island is just across the water from Kingston, Ontario, and though the drive should be fine, the highways were hellish. Off to Big Sandy Bay beach today. Will report back on whether it lives up to its name.
