Blue Monday
The painting is by Kandinsky, who formed or was part of various groups, several of which had "Blue" in the name.
It's Monday morning and difficult to greet with hysterical laughter, but this may help: I remember reading some of this when it first surfaced in the 80s but somehow it's much funnier now. In fact I had to stop reading it because I was in danger of laughing myself sick. Really, it's the funniest thing I've read, line for line, in a long time, maybe ever. It's a compilation from college freshman essays on history. It reeks with joy.
