ALTAmerican artist Cindy Sherman (1954 - ) has long been challenging people’s perceptions of women and the construction of identity by playing various female roles in her photographic work. Sherman created her Untitled Film Stills(1977–80)series when she was just 23 years old, playing many female characters such as the jaded seductress, the unhappy housewife, and the jilted lover. Our favorite, of course, is Sherman as a student (or librarian?) in the book stacks.
Throughout her career, Sherman has continued to transform herself, displaying the diversity of human types and stereotypes in her images of older women, society portraits, and historical figures, such as the Virgin Mary.
