Comparisons

Cui Xiuwen is a very interesting artist because she uses herself in each picture and sometimes uses multiple shots. She is the main focus of the picture but she uses other elements to connect herself to the backgrounds she uses. She uses blue, red, and white as the main colors that connect her pieces. Typically she uses perfect bright blue skies as a piece of her background.

Unlike Xiuwen, Cindy Sherman uses very dark pictures that are typically based off of something a viewer may recognize. Sherman dresses up to become a person in a portrait or someone that looks like they are right out of a horror film. Her pictures seem sad, gloomy, and sometimes a bit scary.

Frida Khalo was a different artist all together, much different from the other two women. She painted herself to look ornate and beautiful. Frida used a variety of colors that make her portraits fun and visually appealing.
