PH1 Cindy Sherman History Portraits; The Rebirth of the Painting After the end of Painting Christa Dottinger Primary Author mixed material bibliography Los Angels schirmer 2013 monographic en English 72p ; 24cm Cindy Sherman's work is structured into series, the best known of which are History Portraits and Untitled Film Stills (1977-1980), which led to Cindy Sherman's artistic breakthrough. In History Portraits, the artist carries out radical transformations of Old Master paintings. Using make-up, cloth drapes, and prostheses, she photographs herself in the poses in which the Old Masters portrayed women. Christa Schneider presents an art-historical analysis of the History Portraits. Identifying a clear model for every single portrait (e.g. Botticelli and Rubens, François Boucher and Jacques-Louis David), she reveals Sherman's extremely precise and enigmatic method of working in which the artistic media employed by Sherman--photography and acting--are surprisingly compatible with painting." 778.9 DOT c9783829606004 Lasalle College Jakarta Library Catalogue 778.9 DOT c PH10055 Photography 778.9 DOT c 1026 2014-03-04 10:41:49 2016-06-06 09:55:59 machine generated
