Project 1: Artists

My favorite of the three artists would have to be Cindy Sherman. I love the intimacy of the black and white photos as well as the glamorous star-like quality she presents to the viewer. I feel most connected to the subjects in her work whereas with the artists I feel somewhat disconnected.

I also enjoy Gregory Crewdson's work for is edited style. I like the way he unapologetically modifies a scene beyond reality. The other artists strive for an image extremely close to reality.

I am not particularly fond of Jeff Wall's work. Though incredibly realistic, the gritty quality of his work puts me at a distance.
