Cindy Sherman
This photo depicts a young looking lady, wearing, by the looks of it winter clothing, with a long scarf drawn over the top of her head and around her neck. The background of this photo is just a simple building, that doesn't draw too much attention to itself. The figure is placed directly in the middle of the frame, with the scarf leading towards the left end of the portrait. Her shadows on her face are very distinctive, making it seem as if the sun were bright.
This photograph was done by Cindy Sherman; it did not have a name so it stayed as an untitled film still. The photograph was taken in 1980, and was added to the MoMa collection. This photo was included in a set of film stills, which were sold to MoMa for 1 million dollars. Cindy Sherman’s work is very abstract, and some might even say it is very odd, although this photo is classic, and much different to her later work she created.
The figure in the picture seems to be looking off into the distance, while the sun is bright, and the wind is strong, pushing her scarf behind her. This lady looks like she is walking somewhere, and the clothes that she is wearing creates a winter effect, her clothes also give off the effect that the photo was set a while back, which really gives the photo that authentic look.
Trying to conclude this time period is difficult as it is a film still, but that photo was taken in the year 1980.
