![Giorgio De Chirico
The Disquieting Muses was painted during World War I, when De Chirico was in Ferrara. The Castello Estense,[5] near which de Chirico lived, is in the background, rust-red and among industrial buildings. At the front are the two Muses, dressed in classical clothing. One is standing and the other sitting, and they are placed among various objects, including a red mask and staff, an allusion to Melpomene and Thalia, the Muses of tragedy and comedy. The statue on a pedestal in the background is Apollo, leader of the Muses.[4]

Dazu kann ich ein Foto meines allerliebsten, leider ausgewanderten Silken-Windsprite-Freundes beitragen, der sich im Norden Islands vom elfenzarten Seidengeschöpf in einen wilden, wuscheligen, ganz wundervollen Windwolf verwandelt hat.
Und reindippen ist noch zu nett.

Well... that's pretty much spot on. Chapeau. I can't say if their proposed solution is the only way to go, but it definitely is a good way to live on a private level, so maybe yes. Anyway, to sum it up:

Good morning! Colourful object of the day is this blue glass sculpture on display in the Grassi Museum of Applied Arts in Leipzig. It's from 1910, a testament to the endurance of fragile beauty.

Good morning! Colourful object of the day is the smug joy I felt when I discovered that fancy Suhrkamp Verlag shares my library esthetics. This is exactly how I sort my bookshelves according to colour (more variation but same principle).
Take that, naysayers! Pffffrttt!

Good morning! Colourful object of the day is this wind-up monkey juggling plates. He's very very old, probably Soviet era and - astonishing, really! - not creepy at all! Perfect attic find! Still juggling his little plates like a pro. I love him.

I started laughing here and haven't stopped since. Since it's in the US, it unfortunately won't be turned into a museum or a retreat for struggling artists or housing for the homeless, but my god it should be! The determination to put absolutely EVERYTHING in there!! Rich people... wowza.

Good morning! Colourful object of the day is this painting by Georg A. Stockburger (1907-1986), gifted to me by my friend, his daughter. It's beautiful, maybe even more so because of the darkness lurking behind it.
