Description: Cindy Sherman: Retrospectiveby Cruz, Amanda & Jones, AmeliaPublished by Thames & Hudson, 2003. Very good trade paperback. Tight binding, solid spine, clean unmarked text, remainder mark to bottom edge. Illustrated, 4to, 219 pages. This comprehensive catalogue traces the career of Cindy Sherman, examining her achievements as one of the leading American artists of our time. By exploring the myriad constructions of female identity and the body in our culture, Sherman imitates and confronts assorted representational stereotypes, becoming for many an icon of the contemporary concerns of feminism and postmodernism.Essayists Amada Cruz, Elizabeth A. T. Smith, and Amelia Jones offer keen insight and observations from several distinct vantage points, demonstrating that Sherman's work is a lens through which to view contemporary art and its ongoing concern with the profound issues of the structures of the self. More than 200 images show the breadth of Sherman's body of work, from the Untitled Film Stills of the 1970s to series such as Centerfolds, Fashion, Disasters, Fairy Tales, and History Portraits, as well as photographs influenced by surrealist artists. Also included are intriguing excerpts from Sherman's notebooks, selections from her contact sheets, and numerous Polaroid studies, all of which shed light on the artist's process. For four decades, Cindy Sherman has probed the construction of identity, playing with the visual and cultural codes of art, celebrity, gender, and photography. She is among the most significant artists of the Pictures Generation—a group that also includes Richard Prince, Louise Lawler, Sherrie Levine, and Robert Longo—who came of age in the 1970s and responded to the mass media landscape surrounding them with both humor and criticism, appropriating images from advertising, film, television, and magazines for their art.Loc: A-11StoreAdd to FavoritesFeedbackCINDY SHERMAN MODERN ART PHOTOGRAPHY PICTURES GENERATION AVANT GARDE B MOVIES Cindy Sherman: Retrospectiveby Cruz, Amanda & Jones, AmeliaPublished by Thames & Hudson, 2003.
