From what I can recall, this being several decades ago, it was usually in the context of relationship between mental illness and creativity or a visual support for the deterioration of the mind. Really interesting to hear the context that these were not necessarily presented in chronological order.<br />Rowleyjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15518937838032356778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-71567593157875474842018-01-28T02:21:48.107-05:002018-01-28T02:21:48.107-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14562464396890501932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-52042816867881289202018-01-27T03:58:59.266-05:002018-01-27T03:58:59.266-05:00The bottom six are based on fractal imagery.

For my ten-year high school reunion we were invited to submit a dossier about our lives since high school. I had recently had one of my collages published on the outside back cover of "Picture Magazine," an art magazine out of Santa Fe in the late '70's - early '80's. I was thrilled about my accomplishment and decided to submit a copy of my black and white collage, entitled "I'm falling" in place of a written dossier to show rather than tell my classmates what I was up to. I explained that the collage was published art and I figured they would get that was a big deal. The collage was a boxer falling down the front of a sky scraper. It was not a self-portrait, at most, a tongue-in-cheek description of certain moments in an artist's life. When my collage wasn't included with the other students' dossiers, I heard through the grapevine, the reunion committee decided I was suicidal, or at least deranged, to have created such art. I heard they had spoken to a psychologist who corroborated their suspicions. I never received a call from any of my classmates to check on my state of mind or "intervene." So much for caring classmates!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01220011606081955610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-39002264046650947172018-01-26T14:50:22.934-05:002018-01-26T14:50:22.934-05:00I had first encountered Wain's cats at a psych...I had first encountered Wain's cats at a psychiatry studies department of the university I went to. There were just six of them on the poster, but all of them appear in the larger set posted on this page, and they were arranged in the same order: the more realistic at the top, the baroque patterns on the bottom. And yes, the poster was captioned as illustrating schizophrenia progression. It even had brief snippets explaining that this cat represented anxiety, and that one showed disruption of mental processes, and such.<br /><br />Only later I found out that the "progression" did not exist, some of the pattern dated before some of the more realistic works, and Wain's overall body of work does not show anything nearly as convenient for a psychiatrist's theories. Bad science, or at the very least bad teaching.Eugene Arenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899356091394676298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-65123431410903133562018-01-26T09:56:30.357-05:002018-01-26T09:56:30.357-05:009 lives haveth kitty cat. 9 lives haveth kitty cat.
