Even famous artists get inspiration from other people...
Crewdson is influenced by painter Edward Hopper and photographer Diane Arbus.
Edward Hopper (July 22, 1882 – May 15, 1967) was a prominent American realist painter and printmaker.
Anwen Keeling's paintings are painted in a very similar style. I would go as far to say she would have also taken inspiration from Edward Hoppers art works.
Diane Arbus was an American photographer and writer noted for her black and white square photographs of "deviant and marginal people or of people whose normality seems ugly or surreal."
Diane Arbus's photographs are all very raw and true to life. She doesn't lie in her photograph or even try and hide ugly things. You can very much see Arbis's style coming through in Crewdson's still images.
