Re: Why is this painter insane?

If you factor in the "what was it before this scene", the strange part is that none of the people are paying attention to the sled race - they are just doing what they were doing before the sleds came through.

I think this is the best guess so far. From the veryrussian site: "In one of the LJ discussions, someone mentioned that the background and foreground are completely separate from each other - couldn’t that correspond to schizophrenia or in general being delusional?"
My initial reaction was a fear of dogs. I thought dogs pulled sleds, not horses. I've never seen horse pulled sleds before. But then I saw the painting this was based on and I guess that debunks my hypothesis.
