The artwork, titled “Untitled” and created by Cindy Sherman in 1976, falls under the Feminist Art movement and is part of the photo genre. It belongs to the “Bus Riders” series.
In this artwork, the subject is seated on a simple chair placed against a stark white wall, creating a minimalistic background. The individual is portrayed wearing a white jacket and checkered pants, their attire contributing to a sense of casual, everyday depiction. The figure’s expression and posture reflect an introspective or contemplative mood. There is a play of light and shadow that subtly enhances the subject’s presence while keeping the overall composition straightforward and unembellished. This piece exemplifies Sherman’s technique of using self-portraiture to explore various identities and roles, a hallmark of her contribution to the Feminist Art movement.
