The Cursed Kandsinky

In Paris recently, I went to the Pompidou (modern art museum) and bought a poster, a
reproduction of a this Kandinsky painting:


I then promptly left said poster on the train in Montpelier. I figured I'd just get a replacement back in Paris our last nigh in France, but the museum (and bookshop) were closed due to a strike (the cleaning staff shut the place down that particular day).

When we got back, I ordered a canvas print of the Kandinsky poster, from allposters.com. It arrived today. I paid $14.18 in brokerage fees (COD of course) and when I opened it up... it was the wrong print. The thumbnail on the bill was right, but not the print itself.

I'm perhaps destined not to own this particular piece.
