iPhone Giveaway of the Day - Cindy Sherman: Art Intelligence

Cindy Sherman has been using her camera to explore the changing roles—and myriad faces—of images of women in media since the mid-1970s. Acting as her own photographer, model, make-up artist and stylist, she takes aim at the movie roles and masks, the fairy tales and fashions, the imagery and icons that have defined female identity through the decades. From the rise of powerful women pop stars and politicians in the 1980s, through the culture wars and gender backlash in the 1990s, to the new narcissism of social networking in the 2000s and beyond, Sherman has used her art to re-stage, re-cast, and reflect our grandest illusions, fantasies, pretensions, and realities—in ways that look deeper at the ways we look.
