Cui Xiuwen + Cindy Sherman + Frida Kahlo = Mad Feminist Art

These three particular artists, through the use of their differing forms of art, all create a visually strong message. They help to solidify the role of women in the art world and can be considered to be strong influences in the feminist art world. They also show how wide a variety the Feminist Art Community possesses.



Cui Xiuwen: Through the use of photography, this artist grabs moments in time that tell emotional stories. She also seems to use computer art to help increase the saturation of her images; causing the naturalistic elements to really pop out of the picture. She takes pictures of landscapes and then crops figures into the moment, creating emotionally gripping pieces.




Cindy Sherman: This artist, as i had mentioned in a previous post, is a very innovative one. She would plan out her pieces with precise attention to detail. She would then put herself into the art and create characters for each piece, which she would put through different situations; taking photographs of the events being acted out.







Frida Kahlo: This artist differs very much from the previous two, her form of art is a more classical take. She was a renowned painter who would illustrate the troubles that she had to go through during her life. Her pieces, though surreal and abnormal, were emotionally invoking.
