Kilauea on Oil by Ernst William Christmas, 1816-1818The joys of a dead laptop in a foreign country! Sorry I've been away so long again, I returned from Italy and I'm now officially requesting submissions for geology in art (e.g. - paintings, poetry, literature, sculpture, buildings, etc). This possibilities are ENDLESS and I'm really excited to see what you've discovered over the years! I'm bummed that I missed out on Wedge #9 - Significant Geologic Events, although I'm wondering if in a group of this many scientists, did anyone ask how we were defining "significant?" Sorry, flashback to graduate school...
The deadline for submission is June 15 (even though it says June 8th on the Accretionary Wedge schedule) and my only request is that we try to dig up as much background as possible on the origin of the work and possible influences on the artist. Please add a link to your submission in the comments section or shoot me an email.
Let the mafic creativity flow!!!

Here's my submission.
My contribution for the month is at http://geotripper.blogspot.com/2008/06/accretionary-wedge-10-geology-and-art.html. Thanks for hosting and for the great topic. I got to climb Vesuvius last summer, and found Pompei to be an awe-inspiring sight (in my case it wasn't crowded because the day was miserably hot and humid; I deal with heat better than crowds).

Here's mine! It's surely a little different than the others, and not only because I went with music instead of visual art. Hopefully this is ok! If not, let me know, and I can pull something else together by the end of the 15th.
Here's mine. It doesn't have much art history in it - I don't know enough about the history of Chinese landscape paintings to do more than link to art museum pages.
Here's mine (http://www.goodschist.com/2008/06/15/art-lore-and-legend/). Not really visual in the way you prescribed, but with a healthy imagination, you're bound to conger something up.
You may want to mention the latest podclast somewhere too, since Tuff Cookie and I have a brief chat in there about volcanic sunsets influencing the artist James M. W. Turner.
First time for me...
