Plus, those that are scifi images are basically based on art pieces that are already "science fiction" if not science fiction. <i>Nude Descending a Staircase, No 2</i> is about automation and the mechanization of the human form already. Making it C3P0 is kind of, well, duh. What Patrick Kanne said.

I was dissapointed after the first four and tuned off when I saw teddybear-napoleon... Header should have been : "Artists in populair culture look back at the great masters" or somesuch... And that isn't special at all...  what a misleading header: most of the artworks aren’t specifically scifi.. I was dissapointed after the first four and tuned off when I saw teddybear-napoleon…
