Yeah, I thought of Lisa Frank, whose work I actually prefer -- it's psychedelic cute overload that starts making "cute" seem weird and off in some way (like she just HAD to add golden retriever puppies in that last one)... And it's on children's stickers! The Godard is pointless sentimental piff... I think my student liked it as that (she took it at face value, bigging up those who donate their hair to cancer charities) -- her paper wasn't very good as she ran out of things to say fairly quickly. I dunno, maybe she had a relative with breast cancer, or she might just be very sentimental in general: for her favorite piece of art she brought in a picture of her son, so I told the Giotto and Dante joke:
Dante: Giotto, why are your paintings so beautiful and yet your children so ugly?
Giotto: Because I create in the light of day, but procreate in the dark of night.
Pop surrealism is pretty interesting, since it seems to be the dominant mode of advertising (it's Magritte's world, we're all just living in it) -- with the way "capitalist realism" is bandied about, you forget all the libidinal surrealism that is crucial to the consumerist avant-garde.
