A powerful message that caught my attention was "My work is not about, kind of, fantasizing about characters or situations." This message clearly shows when you consider all outfits she transforms into. As stated in the description of the video Cindy Sherman: Characters, "Often with the simplest of means—a camera, a wig, makeup, an outfit—Sherman fashions ambiguous but memorable characters that suggest complex lives lived out of frame."

Quote “I think I was part of a
movement, a generation, and maybe the most popular one of that movement at the
time, but it probably would have happened without me,” says Sherman.
Response An example of a humble artist. Although she is

Quote Her work is so defining that “you
can’t make a photograph without the entire history of Cindy Sherman’s oeuvre
behind it,
Response. Not only is her work very
noticeable but it shows whom it is made from. Along with that is a powerful
message that shows all previous artwork even if its made completely different. “An
art piece that speaks to you”
Quote She uses herself because it’s
simpler, she says. She can push herself harder than any model, and she can
avoid small talk.
Response This not only shows the dedication
she has but shows her standards. She's willing to put in the time and effort to
perfect what she wants even if it means changing costumes or staying in the
same clothes for hours. The only criticism being made is from herself which
then gives her the drive that she needs
