Artist Review: Cindy Sherman

Cindy Sherman's pieces capture the essence of female beauty. Each one of her photos seems to articulate just how beautiful women are, even in strange situations. With each of her pieces being in black and white, I saw her works as more of a "collection" rather than individual pictures. It seems like she is creating a story with each "scene" being a different place and a different setting, with a different woman each time. Her work also reminded me of vintage romance films, because the women we were so delicately beautiful. Her work also seemed very vintage vogue. This piece which was also an "Untitled Film" was my favorite. I love how strange the setting is... and how through the goggles you see the perfect eyebrows and eyes that belong to a lovely woman... well, you can assume that much. She could have some nice eyebrows but still be really ugly.
