Cindy Sherman, Untitled Film Still #21, 1978

Happy birthday Cindy Sherman, born on this day in 1954! As a master of disguise, the artist has changed the way we view portraiture by inhabiting multiple personalities that question contemporary identity. She has reimagined everyday people, filmstars, glamorous models and more. This summer, her landmark series Untitled Film Stills—comprising seventy pictures exploring women’s role in cinema—will go on show at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
