I think Claudia is the current leader for best caption. Not only is it funny, but she unknowingly (or perhaps knowingly) alludes to the method of the painter. This painting is called “Abstract Painting” by Ad Reinhardt. He created several shades of black, and tinted the corners red. I saw it in person, and it’s hard to see the nuance. That’s why this couple is concentrating so hard. You can read more here: http://www.moma.org/collection/object.php?object_id=78976
