Cindy Sherman may have been the artist to whom Moffatt was most indebted at the start of her career, but Moffatt's cinephilia was even more thorough than her American model's, and the quality of her films demands that she be considered no less an auteur than an artist. Rereading, rethinking the work collected in the successive volumes of the '6os and '70s, one sees clearly the manner in which a generation of fairly casual filmgoers were inducted by her into a literate cinephilia, through work infused with energy, courage, enthusiasm, and an informed intimacy with her chosen field. The Pictures aesthetic worked well with such high-'80s phenomena as promiscuous cinephilia, New Wave music, "androgyny," and asymmetrical haircuts. |
