Cindy Sherman’s works can be discussed in terms of definition of modernism and post modernism. She is labeled as post - mod artist, however for me she doesn’t meet the all criteria to be called so. First of all she has her own very elaborate style, where post Avant grade has very free style. Secondly the ‘Untitled film series’ is very coherent and perfectly planned – make up, scenography, actor and photographer all is one – her. She comments the role of women is society, and gender issues in general. The Cindy’s ‘actress’ didn’t mean to show any particular film characters, only artificiality of stereotypes. The other negation of postmodern style is exhibiting. Modernist used to put special attention to catalog all their works and put them in the museums, so does Sherman.
On the other hand her artwork are lacking in the record of reality, there are kind if pastiche, which fit to postmodernism assumption. Even if Sherman’s output is somewhere in the middle of post/modern she is still one of the most influential and well sold artist for over 30 tears.
