Cindy Sherman

Cindy Sherman is a photographer and film director from New Jersey.  She is known for her contemporary art and conceptual portraits.  This portrait was made in 1989 and is called untitled #209.  This portrait is an Italian Renaissance-style portrait, in which Sherman takes on the persona of Mona Lisa.  I like this piece because it reminds me of the original Mona Lisa painting without being an exact replica of it.  I like how she was able to give the same feeling as a painting from the time without actually copying a previous portrait.
