I thought this picture by Cindy Sherman was great! It was very stereotypical in one sense but at the same time combated everything that the mid twentieth-century house wife was labeled. She looks strong and confident. She also appears to be a no nonsense kind of sexy woman even in an apron and house shoes. She is in a common dress and a less than common setting but still seems to radiate glamour and self assurance. Almost as if a she is a spokes woman for all the down trodden to stand up for them selves and not feel bad about their roles as simple people.
I think that photography is more alive and on the move than ever. Just because something changes it doesn't mean it is dead. We do have more technology now, but it just gives photographers a chance to display images in a more real way, in the way the images looked and actually felt when they took them. Feelings and moods, heat and cold almost jump off the page if a photographer so chooses. Photographs look more real now than ever and also more creative and artistic choices and challenges as well. So if art changes does that mean its previos form is dead? I think not, has rock n' roll died
