Persephone

[ed.  Top photo is Thomas Hart Benton taken in 1939, by Alfred Eisenstaedt.  What I like about this picture are the artists in the background who are painting relatively straightforward nudes while Benton sees something quite different.  And, if you're wondering what it's like to be a nude model (who doesn't?), read this.]
