Lunch Break

that was very interesting.
visual artists like odilon redon, gustave dore, pierre bonnard...gustave klimt...some of.their canvasses are like extraordinary hallucinations. i wonder what oliver sacks thinks, when he looks at their paintings.
beautiful hallucinations make great art, and beautiful things.
science may call it a syndrome with someone's name....a creative person might just call it imagination, and accept it as their own way of seeing the world.
if a person feels more comfortable knowing they are not "mad," and their brain is just misfiring, okay.
we have a need to explain everything.
soon we will know what part of seurat's brain was misfiring him, for him to create a universe out of pointillistic dots.
thanks:-(

if marc chagall was painting purple brides and red cows in the sky, and dali was painting melting clocks....that must have been an indistinguishable part of their vision of reality.
we all live in vastly different universes.
scientific explanations give comfort in a magical universe.
we may have a major, undiscovered planet in our very own solar system.
