Cindy Sherman
b. 1954
Cindy Sherman established her reputation—and a novel brand of uncanny self-portraiture—with her “Untitled Film Stills” (1977 - 1980), a series of 69 photographs of the artist herself enacting female clichés of 20th-century pop culture.
Though her work continually re-examines women’s roles in history and contemporary society, Sherman resists the notion that her photographs have an explicit narrative or message, leaving them untitled and largely open to interpretation.
