"Cindy Sherman's work is structured into series, the best known of
which are History Portraits and Untitled Film Stills (1977-1980),
which led to Cindy Sherman's artistic breakthrough. In History
Portraits, the artist carries out radical transformations of Old
Master paintings. Using make-up, cloth drapes, and prostheses, she
photographs herself in the poses in which the Old Masters portrayed
women.
Christa Schneider presents an art-historical analysis of the
History Portraits. Identifying a clear model for every single
portrait (e.g. Botticelli and Rubens, Francois Boucher and
Jacques-Louis David), she reveals Sherman's extremely precise and
enigmatic method of working in which the artistic media employed by
Sherman--photography and acting--are surprisingly compatible with
painting."
