Sherman Questions XIV

1. Robert Mapplethorpe Cindy Sherman, 1983
2. Giorgio Armani Campaign

Images of Cindy Sherman that are not images of Cindy Sherman. They are more than a character study, more than self-portraits. They are portraits of 'self'. And amidst all the costume choices - from Balenciaga to Comme des Garçons - Sherman opts for the intellectual power woman look of Jil Sander, Calvin Klein and Giorgio Armani.
