Cui Xiuwen-Cindy Sherman-Frida Kahlo

Despite their differences, Cui Xiuwem , Cindy Shirman, and Frida Kahlo share something in common which is the portrayal of womanhood. In many of Cui’s work, she is known to incorporate issues and struggles woman encounter. Cui work with photography, oil painting, and, vetoes. Her series of pictures portraying a young pregnant Asian woman in her white maternity make me wonder the kind of pain she is enduring. The blue sky and white maternity proclaims an Isolation but yet a peaceful environment or atmosphere.
Cindy Sherman in a different light shows what a perfect woman should look like and dress like in this society. But she does this in a more sexual way. Also, just like that of Cui, Cindy’s work has a sentiment of loneliness but with a strong facial expression. Unlike the others, Sherman’s photos are in black and white but the concept behind the photo remains the same; stereotypes of women.
Frida Kahlo’s paintings are simply beautiful but disturbing to me despite their feminine interpretations behind them. Without knowing her background, a viewer will completely loss the concept behind her painting . Fridas facial expression remains the same in many of her paintings but unlike the others, each of her work is based on her pass experience.

Pictures for Project 1

Cindy Sherman

In all of Cindy's photographs, the idea of how a woman is expected to look is been portrayed. There is a picture of a women wearing an apron which directly draws my mind to what had been socially constructed to be so-called duties of a woman and in this scene the she looks like she is in the kitchen.

Jeff Wall

As a viewer, I feel like Jeff Wall's work is mostly what he imagines. For example in the picture labeled "Dead troops Talk", we know that there is no way the dead can talk but in this picture although we can see that the troops are dead, it looks as if they are really communicating.Also I will like to know the concept behind his work and what actually made him take such pictures.

Teun Hocks

I find Teuns work somewhat funny but at the same time disturbing just like that of Gregory. Teun puts himself in each of his work which also forces the viewer to put themselves in his shoes. In one of his paintings, he is shown standing on a chair with his head in a photo frame. This picture to me simply tell us that he puts himself in his work. Teuns work speaks about him as a independent man.
