Dear Sophie -
CINDY SHERMAN's first works were black and white photographs recreating film stills from classic movie genres where she is featured, merging cinema, art, photography and performance.
As her career has evolved, her make-up, costumes and sets have become increasingly elaborate, the palette painterly, and her characters more extreme. Sherman represents female archetypes with imagery drawn from cinema, television, pop culture, as well as art history.
What a gal(s)!
With love,
Mom
