I just watch 15 minutes of a documentary made about the life of Cindy Sherman. This little wispy blond woman from New York puts on prosthetics, wigs, make-up, and what ever else is necessary to change her image so that she can accurately create parodies of human beings. I have been a huge fan of hers since the 1990's when I saw her exhibit at the Art Institute as it travelled through Chicago. I was 15 at the time, and heavily into "the arts," and completely picked up all that Cindy was putting down. The images are striking; each layered with commentary about the human parody she has created. Truly impressive.
I want to go to MOMA in New York just to see some of the art that they featured in the documentary.
I urge those who have not seen her work to check it out.
