- 1996, Susan Kavaler-Adler, “Diane Arbus and the Demon Lover”, in The Creative Mystique: From Red Shoes Frenzy to Love and Creativity, New York, N.Y.; London: Routledge, →ISBN, part 2 (Tales and Traumas of Women Artists), page 168:
- She was unnoticed before and after the loss of her nanny, at age seven. Yet, when Diane grew into her adolescent years, and began to paint and sculpt, her father was quickly to claim her creative talents as a reflection of his own blood rendered legacy. Now, she suddenly became his daughter. Perhaps it was partly his own “veiled eroticism” and suppressed incestuality that actually impelled in her the compulsion to create, taking its form in her sculptures of swelling pregnant women.
