I can only name one. It was a Simpson's epsiodes where Homer became an outsider artist. He was dreaming that he was in various art such as Warhol's Soup Can, Munch's The Scream, Di Vinci, and a few others.

That lady who fell in love with Leonardo DeCaprio was a fan of Picasso's works. You see her holding and looking at some of his pieces. It was rumored that they were originals! (yeah right) :xx:

One of the reasons she fell for DeCaprio's character was because he was an artist!

there is a sequence in Looney Toons Back in Action *cough*crappymovie*cough* where the toons are being chased around in the Louvre and they pass through different painting and come out in the style of the painting... ie. pointilism coming out of a Seurat painting, all melted coming out of a Dali painting. etc.
