Cindy Sherman

Cindy Sherman is known as one of the most influential people of contemporary art. She is an American photographer and film director from New Jersey who is best known for her conceptual portraits. This image of the four clown is called Untitled #425. It was made in 2004. Sherman began using technology and products like a 'green screen' to help her create some of her works. I find this image a bit disturbing for some reason. It kind of creeps me out because all of the clowns are looking directly at you. Especially the clown in the top left. The one of the right looks a bit happier, but I can almost picture the creepy laugh that he's making. I am not sure if younger children would be a fan of this piece.
