Four Artist Comparison

The four artists that we were asked to compare were Gregory Crewdson, Teun Hocks, Jeff Wall, and Cindy Sherman. All the artists were very attentive to detail and made sure that everything in the piece was in its proper place. All of the pictures were using real subject matter but they all have a very surreal quality to them. All of the pieces have a very eery mood to them and are very dark and moody. Gregory Crewdson's pieces are all very staged and looked like everything was placed in its place for a reason. Everything is very carefully planned. Whereas Teun Hucks is a lot more simpler when creating his pieces and are very surrealistic. Cindy Sherman seems to be more focused on the actual person in the picture as opposed to the background behind it like the other artists. Jeff Wall would have to be my favorite artist out of all of them because he has the most detail in all his works and they are all very interesting to look at. All these artists together have very similar styles in photographing and enhancing photographs and they are all very surreal.
