Untitled (Aging Starlets) Cindy Sherman
New York 2016
Cindy
Sherman’s new photographs bring to mind some iconic Hollywood stars
shot years after their glory days and with the rear projection backdrops
refracted, mirrored, overlaid and doubled. Lillian Gish, her sister,
Dorothy, Theda Bara, Zasu Pitts, Gloria Swanson, Paulette Goddard,
Margaret Sullavan, Jean Arthur, Barbra Stanwyck, and Katharine Hepburn
seem to to haunt these characters that Cindy has assembled for her
glamor shoots. Fame is definitely and damnably fleeting. These are brave pictures,
sort of defiant, that imply all sorts of untold stories from the old
dream factory.
