Untitled Film Stills is a series of black and white photographs by American visual artist Cindy Sherman predominantly made between 1977 and 1980, which gained her international recognition. Sherman casts herself in various stereotypical female roles inspired by 1950s and 1960s films.
They represent clichés or feminine types "that are deeply embedded in the cultural imagination."[1] It was later sponsored by Madonna at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in 1997.[2]
