>BTW, will you take a look at the flick Girl, Interrupted if you're doing this digg? I keep dropping info on it because everything seems to be ignoring that flick as a possible source of info. Could be important.

Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer's painting Girl Interrupted at Her Music is the inspiration for the title of Susanna Kaysen's memoir, Girl, Interrupted.

Book Title - Girl, Interrupted
Girl Interrupted at Her Music by Johannes Vermeer
“This time I read the title of the painting: Girl Interrupted at Her Music. Interrupted at her music: as my life had been, interrupted in the music of being seventeen, as her life had been, snatched and fixed on canvas: one moment made to stand still and to stand for all the other moments, whatever they would be or might have been. What life can recover from that?”
Girl, Interrupted (1993)
―Susanna Kaysen
The girl's intent stare at the viewer is what inspired Kaysen's title, Girl, Interrupted. When Kaysen first saw this painting, she was on a romantic outing with her high school English teacher, wondering what it was going to be like when they first kissed. The painting's depiction of music teacher and student, strangely mimicked Kaysen's own situation. At first Kaysen took the girl's look as a warning: "Don't!" Kaysen felt the girl 's plea in her own soul. 16 years later, after her time in McLean, Kaysen revisited the Frick with her new boyfriend and now believed the girl was sad and trying to "get out" from the constraints of her teacher bearing down on her ~ or maybe just the constraints placed on women in the 17th century.
The painting was created between 1658-1659, by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675), in traditional Baroque style. Today, it is housed in the Frick Collection in New York. The painting on the wall, in the background, is Cupid with a raised arrow. In the 17th century, music was part of courtship, and in this painting, it is as though the man, seemingly older and a music teacher, is interrupting a young girl's music. Cupid's presence in the painting signifies romance. Interestingly, the man is looking lovingly at the girl, but the girl is staring intently at the viewer, almost as if she the girl is trying to give a message.
