Cindy Sherman
Born 1954 · Glen Ridge, New Jersey, USA
Cindy Sherman is an American artist whose work consists primarily of photographic self-portraits that depict her in many different contexts and as various imagined characters. Her breakthrough work is often considered to be the collected "Untitled Film Stills," a series of 70 black-and-white photographs of herself evoking typical women roles in performance media (especially arthouse films and popular B-movies). In the 1980s, she used color film and large prints, and focused more on costume, lighting, and facial expression.
