Originality Run Amok

I just visited Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University and saw a series of portraits consisting of fruits and vegetables. They were credited to Circle of Giuseppe Arcimboldo. They are truly fanciful and the artistic value is hard to gauge. Following my discussion on originality, I'd call this group of portraits originality run amok.
