Japanese Cartoon
Strongbad answers the question "What would you look like as a Japanese cartoon and what would it be about?" This is art about art. These are cartoons about cartoons.

And after I wrote it I realized that last night when Holly and I got back from having seen Lady in the Water, I told Kirby and Marty "It's a fairy tale about fairy tales. It's a movie about movies."

I guess that idea was still in my head when I wrote "This is art about art. These are cartoons about cartoons."

So there are probably lots of other such things, like paintings about paintings (There's a Norman Rockwell of him doing a self-portrait, looking in a mirror. I should put that in my mirror art collection, now that I think of it.) http://sandradodd.com/mirrors

There are songs about songs.

I can think of a few plays about plays, but I know them as movies of plays about plays.

It's a fun idea and I just love fun ideas that can turn into years- long scavenger hunts.
