Cindy Sherman is one of the most influential artists in contemporary art. Throughout her career, she presented a provocative construction of different identities based off of movies, TV, magazines, internet and art history. She worked as her own model capturing herself in different personas. This work is called ''Untitled Film Still #14'' and was made in 1978. During 1977-1980, she took black and white pictures that feature herself in stereotypical Hollywood & European female roles from the 1950s-1960s. I like this picture because when I first saw it, I understood it immediately. I feel like it grasps the concept that a picture is worth a thousand words. I think it takes great artistry to capture an idea in one picture.
