The artist has a fear of dying alone and being forgotten. He fantasizes about spectacular ways in which he could be killed in public places surrounded by many people, particularly children who will be most deeply affected by witnessing his death and carry on his memory the longest. The painting represents one of those fantasies. The artist is pictured as the red smear trailing behind the middle sled.

That would make you very clever for pointing it out!

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?

Thats fine, but wouldn't you be disappointed if this turns out to be a hoax? That you are looking for a hint of a disorder in a picture where one does not even exist

I'm guessing no.

He's probably praying this thread goes away, or coming up with the answer himself.

You're still only searching for the negative things.

I have lost nothing, have I?

I think that's the most likely, but also if it IS legit the answer will probably end up being extremely annoying and questionable.

The horses leave no tracks. The snow should be torn up behind them. The noise should be their stomping hooves. The threat of their stomping has been eliminated in the picture by eliminating the proof in the snow that it ever happened.

The phobia? Fear of ... hmm. Being beaten to death or run over by horses? Fear of loud noises?

The red streak in the snow could play into that. It could be a very odd cape, too, but the other two (invisible) sleds don't show anyone with a bizarrely pointed cape trailing behind.

This fits the prof's admonition to think how the scene looked before. Before it looked untrampled, and it still does now. One fits, one doesn't.

Note that the blueish streaks on the ground are the same in front of and between the horses, untrodden territory, as they are behind the horses. Their passage over the earth has left no mark. Are they flying? Making no sound? Perhaps he's afraid of being ambushed or attacked, and the horses are almost like monsters.

If you remove all the objects you have, what? A snowy hill and sky? What would proceed that, grass? Afraid of grass?
