In this seminal series, Cindy Sherman adopts an array of personas to reinterpret canonical works from the history of Western painting. By utilizing elaborate costumes, prosthetic makeup, and theatrical lighting, she subverts traditional portraiture and explores the construction of identity through the lens of art history. The volume documents these staged photographs, highlighting the artist's critical engagement with the male gaze and the representation of women in classical art.
