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.
