Capturing Life: The Cindy Sherman Eye

The Museum of Modern Art in New York is exhibiting a 170 photographs-strong retrospective of Cindy Sherman's work from her phenomenal career over the past three+ decades.
 
Cindy was truly an innovator of her time, bringing photography to the forefront of the art world. Using herself as model, photographer, stylist and more, Cindy had brought old world charm, glamour, dynamic, evocative and even grotesque images in larger than life sizes.
I highly encouraging everyone to go see his how, it is sure to be amazing!
