The artwork, “Untitled” by Cindy Sherman, created in 1976, is a notable piece within the Feminist Art movement. It belongs to the “Bus Riders” series and is classified under the genre of photo art.
The artwork depicts an individual seated against a stark, white backdrop, which emphasizes the subject’s presence. The subject is dressed in casual, somewhat eclectic attire composed of a white jacket and checkered pants, and their expression and posture suggest a contemplative or perhaps introspective state. The minimalist setting focuses attention on the figure, inviting viewers to ponder the story or identity being presented. Sherman’s characteristic approach of using herself as the model aligns the piece with themes of identity and persona, common in her oeuvre and influential in the feminist discourse of the time.
