Cindy Sherman (untitled)
2008
By choosing an images we always think about a nice, beautiful, a story telling images. This picture that i chose, isn't beautiful, but when i was looking through Cindy Sherman's work, i saw this aging woman image. It was so unusual and odd. She wanted to not only highlight but also actively confronts the spectacle of aging woman in daily life. she always leaves the viewer with more confusion than the clarity.i think that she wanted to show a rich woman, who is lonely, with a lot of makeup, a wig, pained eyebrows, bad taste and finally a portrait that she will likely hang in her own home. In the portrait we can see behind all that need to show off, but also something more poignant all the stuff that she had to sacrifice.
Looking at this picture i saw nowadays elder ladies that we see wrinkles in their arms, legs, but they got done plastic surgeries on their faces or with too much makeup covering those wrinkles that looks so fake and ugly.
