Girls of the Art Institute

Here are some lovelies!

This 1600's little lady really put the lead in my (golf)-pencil when I was about ten:





















I liked this on the cover of a J Crew catalog ca. "Cruise" '07:





















Henri Matisse was all about the "1993 Barney's ad-in-the-New Yorker" look toward the end of his life, apparently. I'm sure Marina Rust has a calendar in her kitchen with this on it.:





















Finally, this buxom lady comes all hungover from Edward Hopper's High Noon. "Is someone at the door? I'd best answer with my sweet rack all askew!" Epic. Also, some Thom Jones/Richard Ford dude used this pic on a book jacket some time ago...like in 1989...
