Your mention of the puzzle "Art Gallery" reminded me of something:
My dad and his wife recently bought a new house, and I saw it for the first time at Thanksgiving. When I was on the grand tour, I noticed that they had purchased a print of Picasso's "Guitarist" to hang above their headboard, but they chose to hang it sideways so that it depicts the figure lying on his back. Ann explained that they thought the figure's traditional pose looked too strange and preferred the sideways orientation.
