Cindy Sherman is a female artist who was born in 1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey which is located just outside of New York City. Unlike most artists Sherman did not grow up interested in art, in fact she did not really explore and discover her love for art until she was in college and enrolled at State University College at Buffalo. One day when Sherman was painting she discovered that she felt trapped by painting and wanted her work to be more than just a picture, so instead of painting Sherman got into photography. Sherman’s’ photographs were very unique, Sherman would take pictures of herself and became known as Untitled Film Studies. Even though all her photographs were of herself, Sherman would play a role or dress up and seem to be someone other than herself. Every photograph by Cindy Sherman would be labeled as “Untitled” with a number next to it, this depersonalizes the photograph.
Cindy Sherman is a well known American photographer and film director. She was born in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, but soon after her birth her family moved to Huntington, Long Island.

Sherman was also considered to be a part of The Pictures Generation which was an exhibition that was the first formal labeling of groups of artists with their images.

Social reformer, Henry Ward Beecher, once said “Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.” This quote is perfect because it shows how no two artists can ever be the same, like my two artists for example, Georges-Pierre Seurat (1859-1891) and Claude Monet (1840-1926).

Monet on the other hand is known for many different works of art, but La Grenouillere (1869) is one of his bests.

The sunset was not spectacular that day. The vivid ruby and tangerine streaks that so often caressed the blue brow of the sky were sleeping, hidden behind the heavy mists. There are some days when the sunlight seems to dance, to weave and frolic with tongues of fire between the blades of grass. Not on that day. That evening, the yellow light was sickly.

High up in the treetops, the leaves swayed, but on the ground, the grass was silent, limp and unmoving. The sun set and the earth waited.
