how do we know the art shows they are insane and not just being very artistic?

That's one of the clues! I think we're supposed to assume this person has been dignosed with an illness already, and use the art to find out other things.

I think that the idea of the separation between the foreground and background is an interesting observation.

Unfortunately on second thought, that appears to be the same case in the original painting as well. So I'm assuming that the answer is something that appears in the latter and not the original painting.

How about the fact that there are no clouds of snow behind the horses? Like the horses never moved? In the original there are clear clouds of snow behind the horses.

It seems that the original has been recreated to test college students. In this case, they might have changed a few subtle things in order to better transpose information (or "clues".)

If in 15 years only one person knows, what makes you think he'll tell now?

Thanks BPS, ditto for you.

It's hard to post your ideas online, as they will inevitably be attacked at one point or another - but I'm just very recently getting over this fact [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Why spend time figuring out a "clue" in something that will most likely never yield a true answer

Wouldn't exercising your mind a bit, and having fun while doing so (for those of us who are capable) be more interesting than thinking up reasons to remain idle?
