#CindySherman, Untitled Film Still #21, 1978. Out of all of Cindy Sherman’s cinematic influences, it’s Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 Rear Window she recalls most vividly from childhood. https://www.josephklevenefineartltd.com/artists/cindy-sherman/cindy-sherman-photographs.html

“I’m not going to go into this aging process silently or happily,” said the artist, who is emerging from a creative slump with electrifying new work.

A Hollywood-inspired murder mystery story, a series of characters waiting for the bus and a cut-out doll trying on different clothes: Cindy Sherman’s early works, which date back to 1976, set the mechanics of her working methodology...

In her 'History Portraits' from the late 1980s, Cindy Sherman humorously plays with Old Master portraiture tropes.

For an assignment to emulate a famous photographer, I chose Cindy Sherman. Her work with her series "Untitled Film Stills," where she places herself in fake movies to depict stereotypical roles of women, and her uncanny ability to disguise herself in self-portraits with makeup and costumes inspired me. My take on her ideas was to photograph myself as different strong female characters in movies, and I also emulated a few of her photos.
