Cindy Sherman

This piece by Cindy Sherman is Untitled #13 1979 from her Film Still series. This series is made up of black and white pictures in which Sherman places herself as an unnamed actress in a variety of foreign Hollywood movies. She was very much influenced by the European 50s look, where the women usually had a blank and still look on their faces. I like this piece, because it seems as she portrays a young woman next to set of books in a library as if the book she is picking up is a mystery. Her look can be portrayed as if she is not supposed to be in that section or hiding from someone.
