This is the text of the Complete Card

Introduction

Cindy Sherman stands as one of the most monumental and influential figures in contemporary art and post-war photography. An undisputed pioneer of the "Pictures Generation," her artistic praxis has radically redefined the boundaries of the photographic medium, emancipating it from the modernist claim of documentary truth to transform it into an instrument of conceptual investigation and narrative fiction.
