These artifacts might easily be mistaken for utensils used and owned by Chewbacky of Star-Wars fame except that they were manufactured here on Earth in the early 20th century, probably by Man Ray or Marcel Duchamp.

Quote:
From the New York Times: After a Furry Teacup What Then?

By GRACE GLUECK

Published: June 28, 1996

After a fur-lined teacup, what do you do for an encore? That was a problem for the German-born artist Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985), who created this famous Surrealist icon in 1936, when she was barely 23. Such whirlwind success -- the Museum of Modern Art almost immediately snapped up and exhibited the teacup -- proved difficult to handle. The sudden burst of fame, it seems, contributed to a major depression that descended on Oppenheim the next year and stayed with her for nearly two decades.

Although the landscape in this photo looks otherworldly (planet of the Tribbles?) it lays in the high plains of Bolivia, South America, Planet Earth.

The example above is one of my favourites, as is Guernica.

Here's one:

1020-Bewareofdog.jpg

Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

A note of explantion: I just want to make sure that all realize that I am sincere in my appreciation of the object-trouve above, which I took the liberty of entitling The Ubiquity of Exiguity....; and I was not trying to make fun of it or the artist. It is a beautiful piece of art!

:)

Don't tell me that's supposed to be art?
