There are three paintings that have had more impact in me as a woman, mother, grandmother than all other art. Interestingly, two come from the New Yorker, the other from James Christensen.
I madea fabric version of the The Responsible Woman by Christensen, calling her the Burdened Woman; I've kept the "cartoon" by Shanahan in my night stand, and the New Yorker cover from May, 2000, in my office. All representing various elements of womanhood, all me at several times in my life.
No further explanation needed.
