The artwork, titled “Untitled #417”, was created by Cindy Sherman in 2004. It belongs to the Feminist Art movement and falls under the genre of photography.
The artwork features a trio of clown figures, all bearing distinctive, exaggerated makeup and blue wigs. The principal subject, occupying the center, has a prominent red nose and dramatically painted facial expressions, giving a sense of both melancholy and eeriness. The background comprises swirling, vibrant colors in shades of orange, yellow, and green, creating an almost hypnotic effect. The combination of the clown imagery and the psychedelic backdrop produces a surreal and unsettling atmosphere, aligning with Cindy Sherman’s exploration of identity and societal themes through her work in feminist art.
