This quote says that many young artists are pleased with Sherman by her representation of natural identity and beauty that she presents and as of now many people, when they take pictures, it just gets transferred to photoshop just be altered, altering the natural beauty that a photo consists, I honestly think it loses value.
2 - "Sherman influenced not only photographers but also painters and performance and video artists. And by limiting her subject matter strictly to herself, while at the same time excavating countless permutations, she inspired a generation of younger artists to explore their own identities across a range of mediums."
Sherman influenced many people especially the younger generations that are starting to explore their skills and the different mediums within the arts. This gives the younger generation a push for them to be more open about their identities as to who they are in the world.
The Ugly Beauty of Cindy Sherman
1 - "They are some of the first pure protagonists in Sherman’s work: These women are not metaphors, they are not waiting to be represented, rescued or destroyed. They are gloriously, catastrophically themselves, and we meet them on their own terms — as we so frequently meet each other — in stagy, embarrassing, endearing selfies launched into the world."
Sherman's work are women who are themselves and not seen or used as a metaphor. They are not used in an exaggerated picture or make them seen that they need to be rescued.
2 - “you can’t make a photograph without the entire history of Cindy Sherman’s oeuvre behind it,”
This means that you cant actually make any photographs without really knowing the whole history of Sherman and because her images are so foundational to feminist art criticisms. She does not discuss about her works or the meaning behind it, she is mostly amused to the people who provokes a frenzy with her works.
