Cindy Sherman/Untitled Film Stills
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that profiles Cindy Sherman's series of photographs Untitled Film Stills (1977-1980), which are regarded as a "hallmark of postmodernist art," for the manner in which they employ "mass-media codes and techniques of representation" in order to convey social comment on contemporary society (Blessing, 2002). In this series of 69 black-and-white photographs, Sherman herself posed in various situations and melodramatic guises that recall the stereotypical publicity stills used to advertise B-grade movies from the 1950s through the 1960s. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Diane Arbus And Annie Leibovitz: Comparing Photographic Style
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The divergent styles of Diane Arbus and Annie Leibovitz address a culture that is constantly changing. Clearly, Arbus' so-called abnormal approach to photography was considered quite shocking during its time; however, the artist did not allow social dictates to mold her creativity, but rather gained even more motivation from the vast array of reactions she received. Leibovitz, while decidedly more mainstream in her style, still puts forth a message through her work that addresses the ongoing quest for gender equality. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
