Art about Art, Cartoons about Cartoons, Plays about Plays... |
Japanese CartoonI added those last two sentences this morning to the page on art SandraDodd.com/arts
Strongbad answers the question "What would you look like as a Japanese cartoon and what would it be about?" This is art about art. These are cartoons about cartoons.
And after I wrote it I realized that last night when Holly and I got back from having seen Lady in the Water, I told Kirby and Marty "It's a fairy tale about fairy tales. It's a movie about movies."
I guess that idea was still in my head when I wrote "This is art about art. These are cartoons about cartoons."
So there are probably lots of other such things, like paintings about paintings (There's a Norman Rockwell of him doing a self-portrait, looking in a mirror. I should put that in my mirror art collection, now that I think of it.) SandraDodd.com/mirrors
There are songs about songs.
I can think of a few plays about plays, but I know them as movies of plays about plays.
It's a fun idea and I just love fun ideas that can turn into years- long scavenger hunts.

Whoa! Speaking of "LINK"!

I wish they credited their artists every day.

Pamela Barrier has a Pinterest collection of Vitruvian parodies.
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
