This grouping is not definitive in any way. You could have entire museum exhibits and volumes of catalogue about women, the female form, in art and photography from Madonna & Child to Madonna and child Lordes. But Hamburg Kennedy photography had an online Mother’s Day exhibit that I pulled these images from (with the exception of Jeff Koon’s $25 million dollar stainless steel heart.) I’m lucky – my Mom is still around and I just talked to her about visiting me next month in New York City for her 75th birthday. So, if you’re lucky enough to still have her around… call your Mom.
