Response of a Response
The desolate feeling i got about George Crewdson's work is slightly similar to how Lizz felt that you are viewing something you shouldn't be looking at. That is what the "quiet" feeling i tried to describe is like.
I liked Joey's quote of how Teun Hocks works have a dreamlike quality due to the unusal circumstances the figure it put into. I also agree with how Bryan said that his works are humurous.
What Emirys said about Jeff Wall "why would he take this picture?" is an interesting statement. With a couple of these artists, i wonder that question.
Lastly, i agree with Emirys how stated that Sherman took photos of mainly women. Andrew makes a good point on how simple the compositions are.

Overview of the 4 listed artists
I have personally seen Gregory Crewdson's work before in person on a field trip that i went on with my high school to the art galleries in Chelsea, New York. A lot of his works have a desolate feeling to them as well as very little human interaction. Despite a few images that have multiple people in them, it feels as though they are not talking or interacting with each other. In addition to that, the couple landscapes feel very silent as if there would only be light noise in the background.
Teun Hocks has a very interesting style. His cartoons are quite amusing and seem to pose as a precursor to his images he creates. A lot of his images are also very humorous. How he puts himself into the pictures is very well done and how he is sometimes out of perspective in most of the pictures adds to the images. I like the image of him coming out of the mouse hole, watering the puddle for the duck and the blindfold on the moon.
Jeff wall's work confuses me a decent bit. They have interesting concepts in them though, such as mlik, flooded grave and dead troops talk. I'm intrigued on how the images are constructed though.
The photographs by Cindy Sherman are fascinating. The black and white adds an older effect to them as does the style of clothes in most of the photos. The photograph of the snorkeler just coming above the water was the one that caught my eye out of the bunch. The poses of the women in the photos are very unique also.
