A Famous Photograph by Diane Arbus Child with Toy Hand Grenade in Central Park, New York City (1962) — A scrawny boy, with the left strap of his jumper awkwardly hanging off his shoulder, tensely holds his long, thin arms by his side. Clenching a toy grenade in his right hand and holding his left hand in a claw-like gesture, his facial expression is maniacal. Arbus captured this photograph by having the boy stand while moving around him, claiming she was trying to find the right angle. The boy became impatient and told her to "Take the picture already!" His tired, frustrated expression conveys his weariness with the whole endeavor. This photo was also used on the cover of Punk Band SNFU's first studio album; And No One Else Wanted to Play.
This Photo is sometimes cited as the inspiration for Bart Simpson
