Male artists create images which reflect the society those men think they live in; Sherman is a woman who uses those very same clichéd images to reflect the society in which women really live.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-68613548694631347092018-08-20T23:00:42.314+01:002018-08-20T23:00:42.314+01:00This is a different type of art than you usually s...This is a different type of art than you usually show us. No, I did not realize that it was all the same person until you told us. I did think that the four women looked similar and were possibly relatives. Thank you for introducing me to this artist.

Her iconic images make us think, and can have an odd quality of attracting and repelling at the same time.
