Cindy Sherman’s art, especially her Untitled Film Stills have had a profound effect on art and culture in general. Manet’s painting “Olympia” is said to have been one of the firstinstances where a woman returned the male gaze. What did Sherman do to the male gaze? Thorough and beautifully produced book on the first years of her career. Contents The Oracle of Images by Peter Schjeldahl Plates Cindy Sherman: Guises and Revelations by I. Michael Danoff Excerpted from the web site for PBS: "Often with the simplest of means -- a camera, a wig, makeup, an outfit -- Sherman fashions ambiguous but memorable characters that suggest complex lives that exist outside of the frame. Leaving her works untitled, Sherman refuses to impose descriptive language on her images -- relying instead on the viewer’s ability to develop narratives, as an essential component of appreciating the work. While rarely revealing her private intentions, Sherman’s investigations have a compelling relationship to public images, from kitsch (film stills and centerfolds) to art history (Old Masters and Surrealism) to green-screen technology and the latest advances in digital photography. Sherman’s exhaustive study of portraiture and self-portraiture—often a playful mixture of camp and horror, heightened by gritty realism—provides a new lens through which to examine societal assumptions surrounding gender and the valuation of concept over style."
