Cindy sherman's character controversy.

1989, Sherman expressed his solidarity with the "Sex" series because of the decrease of sponsorship from the American Art Foundation (usually NEA) and the controversial works by the photographers robert mapplethorpe and Andres Serrano.

In this series of works, she did not appear in the photos, but used a large number of medical mannequins to stimulate the moral boundary of sex photos through chaotic and disturbing furnishings, thus achieving the effect of ridicule. /kloc-in the 1990s, Sherman exhibited Untitled with the theme of sex and violence, which is also a masterpiece that shocked the world.

Many feminist critics think that she is an outstanding representative of contemporary women's art, and each of Sherman's works seems to be sharply discussing the role of women in society, which seems to be full of ridicule or sadness. But Sherman once said that he was not a feminist. There are also many art critics who list Sherman as one of the most important female photographers in modern art and think that she is one of the most influential and successful artists in the late 20th century.
