Why is this painter insane?
Sorry if this was posted before....
I found this on digg and thought about posting it here. A Russian professor has posted a picture of a painting done by someone with a severe mental disorder. A single detail of the picture shows that they are insane, but in 15 years, only a single person has figured out what it is. Can you? (without the crease) Below is the link to bigger res. picture of the paitning http://pics.livejournal.com/shaltai_baltai/pic/00001ykp The person who posted a scan of this painting says the following: This was painted by a person with a rare and severe mental disorder. He was constantly seeing his own fantasies all around him. He also had a certain phobia (undisclosed). His (the poster’s) psychiatry professor showed this painting in a lecture, and said there was one tell-tale sign in it that showed the painter’s insanity. The professor didn’t say what that sign was, leaving the students to do the guesswork. The only clues he gave was, “don’t look for small details, look at the whole; if you figure out what the phobia was, you’ve got the answer; ask yourself what could have preceded this scene; think of what the place would look like with all the objects removed“. The professor said that during the 15 years of his teaching, only one student had figured it out. Anyone have any guesseS? |

Doors? [/ QUOTE ] ALthough they are hard to see.. people say theer are doors in this painting. WOuldn't be a little too easy if the answer was doors? [ QUOTE ] There ARE doors people, so stop guessing this. If you look at the middle blackish building with the two people and the baby carriage infront of it, look directly behind the person in the red. There is a door. It's a very dark rectangle and it's hard to see because it's almost the same color as the house but if you look close you can plainly see the door. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] there looks to be a door behing the woman in the red infront of the brown house, there is a darker brown door-shaped rectangle over the brown paint of the house. [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: Why is this painter insane?
Are the houses supposed to be cut off like that, or is that just a bad copy?
