From the inspiration file.

So, I've seen a lot of great stuff hanging in museums in Kansas City and Chicago over the years, including some wonderful portraits of women. These are the works that never fail to instruct and inspire:

The Penitent Magdalen by El Greco, circa 1580-5, at the Nelson-Atkins

Madame Freret-Dericour by Joseph Siffred Duplessis, 1769, at the Nelson-Atkins

Interrupted Reading by Jean Baptiste Corot, 1870, at the Art Institute of Chicago

Untitled Film Still No 14 by Cindy Sherman, 1978, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago

Hilton Head Island, S.C., USA, June 22, 1992 by Rineke Dijkstra, 1992, at the Art Institute of Chicago
