I don't know who began the inspiration thread/contest, but I'd like to add a little Joseph Cornell.

i can't post cornell because then i start obsessing about cornell. again. he's maddening. and fuck his films are beautiful.
Hell yeah! The boyfriend & I had the delight of walking around the Cornell show that was at the SFMOMA recently. OMFG it was so good. I especially loved "Taglioni's Jewel Case" (http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?criteria=O%3AYM%3AG%3A1940%7CA%3AYM%3AL%3A1949%7CG%3AHO%3AE%3A1&page_number=1&template_id=1&sort_order=1) and the collages he did in honor of dancer Tamara Toumanova

I so wanted to see this.
I'm pretty keen on going to the Jasper Johns' Grey show at the Met sometime soon.
@ Metalorchid - Truly, some of those are my favorites! How awesome to see in person. I've seen very few in the 'flesh'.

Word.
