#22: Cabaret (1972) and Portrait of the Journalist Sylvia von Harden (1926) by Otto Dix

The German artist Otto Dix’s Portrait of the Journalist Sylvia von Harden became a key visual reference. It is like this woman came out from the painting, from her pose and short haircut to the table and drink in front of her.
