Here’s a challenge for those of you that like to make connections across artistic disciplines. I have come up with names of artists/important figures that share certain things in common. Find the missing link, and I will post the answers progressively on my blog. I’d love to hear your guesses though, and feel free to add other people-puzzles!

Find the connection between:

1)    Stanley Kubrick + György Ligeti + Tom Cruise = ? 

2)    Le Corbusier + Iannis Xenakis + Edgard Varèse = ? 

3)    Frederic Rzewski + Oscar Wilde + Charles Baudelaire = ? 

4)    Jean Cocteau + Erik Satie + Pablo Picasso = ? 

5)    Marie Chouinard + Glenn Gould + J.S. Bach = ? 

6)    Ludwig van Beethoven + Milan Kundera + Friedrich von Schiller + the EU = ? 

7)    Harold Pinter + Margaret Atwood + Poul Ruders = ? 

8)    Janet Cardiff + Thomas Tallis + Queen Elizabeth I = ?
