She assumes the roles of photographer, model and creative director as she plays with the notions of identity and femininity while masquerading as different characters. As a glamor girl, housewife, or Hollywood actress, Sherman critiques the roles women are forced into by society and the media. In her <em>Fashion <\/em>series, which includes <em>Untitled #117<\/em>, Sherman takes on a more disquieting character. Emerging sickly and gaunt from between two black curtains, the artist is a contemporary <em>femme fatale. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/2002.45-1-690x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/2002.45-1-690x1024.jpg 690w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/2002.45-1-202x300.jpg 202w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/2002.45-1-768x1140.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/2002.45-1.jpg 1514w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><figcaption>Cindy Sherman (American, b. 1954) <em>Untitled #117, <\/em>1983 Color cibachrome print Gift of James H. and Frances R.
