Madonna

My last Blog was about Kate Bush at the end of the 80's going into the early 90's. I guess if your going to talk about successful female artists and music videos, then you cant go past Madonna.
Not that I'm a huge fan or anything but I just find her interesting from the perspective of being a visual artist. Each year she had a new look and a new image which she sold through her clips. Basically she just released a new model of herself each year..Not dissimilar to the way a manufacturer will release a new model of their product, be it a car or whatever.
I think for this reason she is a really interesting Artist and I would have no problem in drawing parallels between her and say someone like Andy Warhol.
having Said all that probably my favourite clip of hers came much later in her career with the video for Ray of Light. Again just a simple idea done really well.



I also really like the clip she did for Drowned World/Substitute for Love. The bar scene with the distorted faces is done so well. had a couple of nights out on the town like that myself
