Cindy Sherman - Moma

These classically composed portraits borrow from a number of art-historical periods—Renaissance, baroque, rococo, Neoclassical—and make allusions to paintings by Raphael, Caravaggio, Fragonard, and Ingres (who, like all the Old Masters, were men). This free-association sampling creates a sense of familiarity, but not of any one specific era or style. The subjects (for the first time for Sherman, many are men) include aristocrats, Madonnas with child, clergymen, women of leisure, and milkmaids, who pose with props, costumes, and obvious prostheses. Theatrical and artificial—full of large noses, bulging bellies, squirting breasts, warts, and unibrows—the history portraits are poised between humorous parody and grotesque caricature. A handful of Sherman’s portraits were inspired by actual paintings. Cindy Sherman et ses 171 métamorphoses. Ingrid Sischy on Cindy Sherman’s MoMA Retrospective.

Cindy Sherman - September 14 - October 10, 2012

This is her first exhibition with the Paris gallery, following exhibitions in Los Angeles and Rome in previous years. Working exclusively as her own model for more than thirty years, Sherman endlessly transforms herself to address the complexities of identity through photographs that she controls as author, director, and stylist. In Sherman’s latest photographs, recondite female figures stand against vast and inhospitable natural landscapes. For this series, Sherman shot the background landscapes on the isles of Capri and Stromboli, in Iceland during the 2010 volcanic eruption, and on Shelter Island, New York. Cindy Sherman was born in 1954 in New Jersey.
