Please don't post the answer!

I've got an idea, but I'm going to finish reading the replies to make sure it hasn't been posted...

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

Another one could be fear of the unknown.

If you look at the lower left corner, it seems there is some dark matter, that acts like a boundary. Besides the whole painting looks like "falling away from the center, making it steeper the farther away from the houses you get (farther=dangerous)

Who's insane, the original artist, or the reproducing artist?

If the latter, the answer must lie in the contrast between the two.

Right below the two skiers in the top right quadrant there is a line that could only be made at the border between land and a lake. Most of the scene, including built houses, takes place on top of what most of the year is flowing water.

Red herring alert:

The link to the creased pic contains the phrase Shaltai Baltai, which on Google revealed this:

[ QUOTE ]
And then there is Humpty Dumpty - of course - falling off his wall and shattering into pieces.

By the way, Humpty is one of a string of British rhymes which the Russians have taken to their hearts.

Over here he is known as Shaltai Baltai, which roughly translates as the Cheeky Dangler.

He still meets the same fate, though, when he slips off that wall.

[/ QUOTE ]

from here.

So something having to do with falling, the snowflake people I think are on the right track...
