Cindy Sherman
'Untitled,' 1989
In her large-scale conceptual works, Cindy Sherman transforms herself, often unrecognizably. Acting as director, designer and make-up artist, she presents herself in a variety of roles that critique the representation of women in mass media and contemporary culture.
‘Untitled #209’, 1989, is from Sherman’s ‘History Portraits’ series, which was created between 1988 and 1990 and devoted to reinventing classical high art and art history using color photography. Drawing inspiration from a broad scope of historical imagery from 15th century Florence to 18th century Paris, Sherman appears in costume to create a unique portrait of a lady that resembles familiar images by Italian High Renaissance “Old Master” painters, such as Rafael’s ‘La Fornarina’, ca. 1516, or Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Mona Lisa’, 1512-1515.
