Lucille Ball
1975
Cindy Sherman channels the iconic comedic actress Lucille Ball in this striking work, adopting her signature wide-eyed expression and playful persona through Sherman's signature use of costume, makeup, and theatrical staging. As in much of Sherman's practice, she inserts herself as both photographer and subject, blurring the line between identity and performance. The work invites reflection on femininity, celebrity, and the constructed nature of the personas women have historically been expected to embody.
