I reminds me of a post-war artist -- what's his name now? stupid brain! Oh, I'll remember it next week -- anyway, his paintings of human figures evolved over time as his alcoholism took hold, until all the lanscapes were populated with elongated and simplified human forms, almost tubular in trunk and limbs. Like a bottle. But that -- and this -- is just a vivid example of what goes on everytime an artist presents his/her vision, isn't it? Only, exaggerated by illness or chemical alterations to the brain & perceptions. Thanks so much for sharing this -- it all makes a person think! That’s just fascinating..
