Cindy Sherman

Cindy Sherman has built a name as one of the most respected photographers of the late twentieth century. Although, the majority of her photographs are pictures of her, however, these photographs are most definitely not self-portraits. Rather, Sherman uses herself as a vehicle for commentary on a variety of issues of the modern world: the role of the woman, the role of the artist and many more. It is through these ambiguous and eclectic photographs that Sherman has developed a distinct signature style. Through a number of different series of works, Sherman has raised challenging and important questions about the role and representation of women in society, the media and the nature of the creation of art.

 

 

This photo is nice, the make up is nice, and the
background colour matches the lipstick and her eyes
although it looks lovely, I don't think that jacket is the
right one for this photo, but then it must have been
the fashion back then.

 

I like this one because it shows she's not afraid
to show that even older women are beautiful, whether
this is real or Cindy's art work with make up is irrelevant.

 

These photos were completely Cindy's work, she did everything, for the lighting to the make up. I must say though she looks much prettier in the normal picture at the top.
