	Tate Magazine Issue 5: Cindy Sherman
		Sherman came of age with the Big Bad Boy artists of the 1980s, and, unlike some of her blustery comrades, she is still big and bad - in fact, the biggest and baddest of them all.
		Sherman's studio is as modest as she is: a large room that takes up roughly half her loft apartment in New York; a small shooting area with backdrops and desks strategically placed.
		Cindy Sherman was born in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, in 1954.

	Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills
		Sherman reveals gender as an unstable and constructed position, which suggests that there is no innate biological female identity.
		The American feminist artist Cindy Sherman (1954) is famous for the Untitled Film Stills series (1977-1980) that consist of fl-and-white photographs of the artist posing in different stereotypical female roles.
		Sherman depicts a woman in designer clothes losing self-confidence who cannot bear the pressure of her forced role.

	[No title]
		Cindy Sherman photographs herself or has other people photograph her in different scenarios which she concocts and in which she is the sole performer.
		Sherman is not having fun putting on her wigs, dressing in clothes not her own, and becoming a different person.
		Sherman's work is closer to the tradition within photography of dressing up and assuming roles for the camera to immortalize than it is close to the tradition of self-portraiture.

	AE160D Unit 22: Cindy Sherman
		Sherman's "Untitled Film Stills" is a collection of sixty-nine fl and white photographs that are uncannily reminiscent of 1950's and 1960's Hollywood B movie stills.
		Most often Sherman is the only person visible in the frame and the viewer is made to feel like a voyeur of her condition.
		While the "Untitled Film Stills" are Sherman's best-known works, and have become part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, she also has created a series of large scale richly colored photographs suggestive of historical portrait paintings.

	Cindy Sherman --[ ART DIRECTION ] SCENE 360
		Her concept would be an eye-opener, and Sherman once explained to the media about her motive, “The male half of society has structured the whole language of how women see and think about themselves.”[2] And she took these visible clichés presented in films, television, fashion, advertising, art, and magazines, and adapted them into her photos.
		Cindy Sherman moved away from woman photo-portraits in the late 80s to a new genre of horror flick inspiration.
		Sherman’s art is for you the viewer to interpret as you see it, the artist has not put guidelines or hints, nor does every analysis about her work actually become an accurate conclusion.

	Cindy Sherman: The Complete Untitled Film Stills
		Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills, a series of 69 fl-and-white photographs created between 1977 and 1980, is widely seen as one of the most original and influential achievements in recent art.
		Sherman began making these pictures in 1977 when she was 23 years old.
		Onto something big, Sherman tried other characters in other roles: the chic starlet at her seaside hideaway, the luscious librarian, the domesticated sex kitten, the hot-blooded woman of the people, the ice-cold sophisticate and a can-can line of other stereotypes.

	Cindy Sherman - AMAM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In Untitled Film Still # 53, Sherman engages with another theme of postmodern practice and theory of the 1980s: the camera is not a neutral device but an ideological apparatus that frames and constructs a particular viewpoint.
		In this case, Sherman seems to have consciously manipulated the image to emphasize the controlling (implicitly male) gaze of the viewer from which the young blonde anxiously averts her own gaze.
		Cindy Sherman was born in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, in 1954, and grew up in suburban Huntington Beach on Long Island, the youngest of five children.

		Sherman was born in 1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, and moved to Huntington Beach in suburban Long Island, New York when she was three.
		Sherman says when she was young, her "idea of being an artistwas a courtroom artist or one of those boardwalk artists who do caricatures." Still, Sherman took high school art courses, and in 1972, enrolled in Buffalo State College, initially studying painting.
		Sherman began dating fellow art student Robert Longo, who was instrumental in introducing her to contemporary art, which resulted in her diminished interest in painting and an increasing focus on photography.

	Cindy Sherman
		Cindy Sherman: Working Girl includes rarely seen works from the beginning of her career in the mid-1970s, including work created while Sherman was an art student at Buffalo State College, Buffalo, New York (1972-76).
		In these staged photographs, Sherman appears wearing a broad range of outfits and employs common props to represent diverse individuals and the fragmented moments captured during their journey.
		This is one of the very few bodies of work in which Sherman depicts herself as a man. Soon after this work was completed she focused only on the image and portrayal of women and stated that “it was difficult to identify sufficiently with the feelings of a man.”

	Cindy Sherman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cindy Sherman (born Glen Ridge, New Jersey January 19, 1954) is an American photographer and film director known for her conceptual self portraits.
		Many art critics consider Sherman to be not only the most successful female photographer of the modern era, but one of the most successful artists of either genders in the late twentieth century with as much influence on younger artists as did Andy Warhol in his era.
		In 1995, Sherman was the recipient of one of the prestigious MacArthur Fellowships, popularly known as the "Genius Awards." This fellowship grants $100,000 over 5 years, no strings attached, to important scholars in a wide range of fields, in order to encourage their future creative work.

	The Sherman Phenomena (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Although Sherman is often heralded as the quintessential ‘postmodern’ artist, the modernist tendencies of her work coupled with the critics’ inability to confront the ambiguity of her work, have rendered her ‘postmodern’ label problematic.
		Sherman’s potentially fruitful exploration of the issues of identity and the abject is at risk of being sacrificed at this altar of shock.
		Critics’ readings of Sherman’s silence as political is based on the assumption that Sherman is fully conscious of women’s historical silence, an assumption that is not substantiated by her interviews or, I would argue, her work.

	The Broad Art Foundation - The Collection - Cindy Sherman
		Since 1977, Cindy Sherman has made photographs of herself, which are not self-portraits.
		In Untitled, 1989, Sherman poses as La Forinara, just as the model might have been painted by her lover, the 16th century Italian painter Raphael, or later by Ingres, except that Sherman's Forinara exposes milk-swollen (plastic) breasts and cradles a (false) pregnant belly beneath her shawl.
		Sherman's work has been exhibited in museums around the world, and she was recently the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation fellowship grant, known as the "genius" award.

		The series of 8 10-inch fl-and-white photographs featuring Sherman herself in a variety of roles is reminiscent of film noir and presents viewers with an ambiguous portrayal of women as sex objects.
		Sherman stated that the series was "about the fakeness of role-playing as well as contempt for the domineering 'male' audience who would mistakenly read the images as sexy." She continued to be the model in her photographs, donning wigs and costumes to challenge cultural stereotypes.
		Using prosthetic appendages and liberal amounts of makeup, Sherman moved into the realm of the grotesque and the sinister with photographs that featured mutilated bodies and reflected such concerns as eating disorders, insanity, and death.

		Cindy Sherman says that she is not a photographer.
		Sherman takes on different personas of B movie actresses that show specific stereotypes of this time period that would have been seen throughout film, the media, and society.
		The fact that Cindy Sherman looks different in each still, yet the viewer knows it is the same person beautifully lends itself to the point of her photographs.

		Cindy Sherman has taken self-portraiture and masquerade to the highest heights and the campiest lows, bringing the shady ambience of B-movies to art photography while exploring the plexus of narcissism, from its silliest manifestations to its most provocative expressions.
		Sherman explores the implications of role-playing and fantasy, seeing and being seen, and society's perceptions of women, eroticism, and consumerism in her photographs, creating resonant images and supplying art critics with much grist for their mills.
		Sherman has been in costume before her own camera for more than 20 years, earning the right to a major traveling exhibition and speculation as to what she'll come up with next.

	Museum of Contemporary Photography: Sherman, Cindy
		Working with what some critics have labeled the “self-portrait of performance,” Cindy Sherman nevertheless insists that her works – from movie stills to modern portraits – are not self-portraits, although they all feature her as the main character.
		Sherman achieves these images after hours spent changing her costume (including prosthetics at times), hair, eyebrows, makeup, and lip shape.
		Cindy Sherman was born in New Jersey in 1954.

		Un film di Cindy Sherman: il suo debutto cinematografico del 1988, elimina ogni traccia della lieve giocosita' postmoderna delle prime 'pose filmiche' in favore di un universo piu' macabro ma narrativamente piu' sbilanciato, meno preciso degli altri lavori di questa artista; una farsa horror che si crogiola nel suo eccesso morboso.

	The Fantasm of Fascination
		VA In reviewing the voluminous critical response that has attended Cindy Sherman's achievements during the last decade and a half, one thing becomes glaringly apparent: her work has a way of evading, if not utterly confounding, all attempts to sum it up.
		It's rather that Sherman's photographs occur in a profoundly complex, allusive, and at times maddeningly elusive realm, which itself is resistant to didacticism, fundamentally and comprehensively.
		As much as this shot is antithetical to Sherman's lurid and disturbing sex dolls of the early 1990s, the sheer artificiality of the scene distances one from its emotional appeal.

	Salon \| Media Circus: Cindy Sherman: From dream girl to nightmare alley
		Since Sherman is also now making her directing debut with an endearingly goofy, if not completely successful, feature film gore fest called "Office Killer" (starring Carol Kane and Molly Ringwald), it seemed piquantly appropriate that the press preview for her retrospective be held on Halloween.
		As a member of a generation raised on broadcast media, Sherman, 43, seems to have instinctively tapped into and reflected the archetypal undertones of the TV and movie legends she consumed.
		As her artmaking continued, Sherman found herself digging deeper into the myths behind these single-frame "stories." Her intuition, it seems, led directly to the darker subjects of her extreme later works, disturbing visions that draw on our universal fear of nightmares and physical decay.

		Sherman has also activated the background space of her photographs, and the results are positively psychedelic.
		Given the importance of identities that are mass-produced and passed around in Sherman's work, her impersonations of (usually) feminine stereotypes have always been remarkably clownlike.
		Even though her ingenues and circus clowns share a thing about getting dressed up and posing for the camera, the latter are immeasurably more resistant to blending in with the crowd.
