veryrussian.net — 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?

It is schizophrenia as the picture is divided in halves...

Actually it looks like like a fold in a magazine, it certainly does not look characteristic of scan glitch. Even if the author said it was a scan glitch he was probably misinformed.Original is here:<a class="user" href="http://www.museum.ru/Outsider/img/psih_07b.jpg">http://www.museum.ru/Outsider/img/psih_07b.jpg</a>

The painter is afraid of being outside (in "open space"). I think the painter also believes he is there, most likely inside in a small room, peaking from a small window. Perhaps that is why the kids are all looking in one direction, maybe at him?Maybe that's why the person outside appears to have a flame or to be burning.

Two instances of paranormal apparitions in the picture:1. A face in the sky: <a class="user" href="http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/7339/faceintheskyqw3.png">http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/7339/faceintheskyqw3.png</a>2. A creature hidden behind the trees (near the yellow house with no lights on): <a class="user" href="http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/9201/monsterbehindthetreesyf1.png">http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/9201/monsterbehindthetreesyf1.png</a>The phobia could be Agoraphobia, sometimes diagnosed as panic disorder/paranoia. Or it could simply be Schizophrenia given the subtle presence of the two creatures in the painting.

The painter/viewer is part of the scene. I'm pretty sure that is true. The kids looking at him/you is part of the answer.

The perspective makes it look like a world in a bottle, the painter is standing on the outside looking in, afraid to enter. If the clue is fear of open spaces (i.e. not a hoax) then this is my guess: It's a phobia of physical existence - entering the world and being seen and judged. That is why the people in the picture have no expression on their faces even though some of them seem to be looking in the direction of the painter. That's why the painter sees the world as if observing it from the outside without actually being in it.

for some reason i thought of him having fear of open spaces within seconds of seeing the painting.. looks like i was right. (it says so on the page).

Oh and here is a list of phoebias people have guessed on I have found on another russian site (pardon my poor translating) :::1. Spacephoebia - filled all of paining with images2. Agorophoebia3. The fear of change4. The fear of volcanoes or volcanic eruptions, as the scene in the picture takes place on a volcano and the snow is the ash5. Thanatophoebia- all will die because they will be engulfed by the whirlpool- all will die because the scene is set on top of a frozen lake which will soon lose its ice6. The fear of noise7. Arachnophoebia because the legs of the horses look like those of a spider8. The fear of the dark because- the whole of the painting is filled with light- if all is removed from the painting, then a light field surrounded by oncoming darkness (forest) remains and all that was on the painting before is just imagined by the author to hide his fear.9. Heliophoebia (darkness, yet why there are alot of light and red/yellow colors is not commented)10. Claustrophoebia11. Aquaphoebia because the author places himself high in the air where he does not touch the snow12. The fear of running water (horses running over ice which is about to break)13. The fear of fire because the author depicted very bright lights in the houses, plus used alot of yellow/red colors14. Sociophoebia15. Fear of sun eclipses because the scene is set during the day during one such eclipse16. The fear of drowning because in the painting the air (blue/purple and silent) resembles water17. The fear of fast motion18. Thermophoebia because the warm colors (red/yellow) are drowned in the cold snow19. The fear of the night20. Epilepsy (yeah - i dont know how that one got on there =)

A professor has shown me this painting before.Look at his other painting, it has a lot of hints.The patient was schizophrenic and thought he was snowman, thats why all the children are looking at him, and the adults are disinterested.He's also melting in the second one.He had a fear of melting or becoming human.Note: I am posting this on a friend's account.
