Just as it is possible to make anyone look like a crook by liting, framing, and angle choice, Arbus "darkened" her products to fit her vision. As a survivor of major depression, I understand what she was doing -- and how she was documenting her world view ("The truth IS, but 'reality' is what a given person thinks about the truth," she might say...) but it is the skewed view of a depressed person. One could just as easily paint with light as with darkness.

Thanks,
