Marylin Minter is an American artist her works are based around images from hardcore pornography. Her images come from an abusive history. During the 1990s she refined her work and all though the work still had pornographic undertones it started to exclude a sense of glamour and high fashion, and included images of makeup laden lips, eyes and toes.
Marylin Minter Pretty/ Dirty is a series of photos that are hyper realistic and blur high fashion and art, the images are very abstract and are playful and full of surprise. The images are manifestations of our culture's complex and contradictory emotions about the feminine body and beauty, the images bring a sharp critical focus to the power of desire. One of the works 'Coral Ridge Towers' is a series of photographs she took of her drug-riddled mother who was also darkly glamourous.
I have been inspired by Marylin Minters work for both my Claudia and Mrs. Laderman shoot, the reason why I think it appeals to Claudia is the references to drug abuse and Mrs.Laderman with how glamorous they images are and also as a reference point to my chosen word taste.
