“Be in Love, You Will Be Happy” is a work by the grotesque Paul Gauguin. You can go walk past it while you roll your eyes, scoff, etc., at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
In a letter to van Gogh, he writes,

#12: Practice how to graciously receive a compliment because you can’t help it if you’re popular. (Full Buzzfeed here.) Sometimes art is a blushing cartoon centaur. With sass.
Loved this buzzfeed — I appreciate the ones that aren’t dependent on profanity > those that are. http://www.buzzfeed.com/kmallikarjuna/art-history-snapchats-that-will-give-you-life?s=mobile
