Music and art

Dear Resourceful Members
I am compiling two lists of music (not necessary piano music): (a) Music that influence an art work (be it paintings, sculptures, prints or even performing art) and (b) Art-wrok that influence a piece of music.
For (a), i have no entry yet. I vaguely remember a piece of work by Andy Worhol that was inspired after he heard Steve Reich's composition. But there must be many others.
For (b), the immediate three pieces that comes to mind is Mussorsky's Pictures from Exhibition, Debussy's Sunken Cathedral and (of course) La Mer.
Thank you for all contributions.
My sincere thanks
