Summary/Abstract: This essay discusses numerous links between the work of the American photographer Cindy Sherman and cinema, manifested through her famous cycle Untitled Film Stills (1977-1980), but also in her own films: a short animation made during her college years (Doll Clothes, 1975) and a horror (Office Killer, 1997). The author considers to what extent photographs from the cycle are inspired by specific films and what is the relationship between the artist’s own films and her Untitled Film Stills. He also recalls Edward Hopper, another well-known artist whose paintings resemble movie stills. Finally, the author reminds us of feature films made in the 1990s by other artists from Sherman’s generation: David Salle, Robert Longo, and Julian Schnabel.
