The artwork, “Untitled Film Still #30,” was created by Cindy Sherman in 1979. This piece is part of the Feminist Art movement and belongs to the genre of photographic art. It is one of a series known as the “Untitled Film Stills.”
The artwork depicts a close-up, black-and-white photograph of a woman’s face, capturing a moment of intense emotion and vulnerability. The woman’s expression is one of distress, with her eyes wide open, lips slightly parted, and makeup smudged around her eyes, suggesting recent tears or a harrowing experience. The background is blurred, featuring a window, which adds to the isolated and intimate atmosphere of the piece. Cindy Sherman’s work often explores themes of identity and the portrayal of women in media, and this particular artwork exemplifies her ability to evoke powerful narratives and emotions through staged photography.
