There are some fascinating but disturbing paintings on this site:

Enjoy. Maybe that's the wrong word...

That's some nice art. I especially like the part showing the little boy curled up with figures in the background, but wouldn't this thread be more suited as a reply to my thread of art?

Well, your art topic is quite far back now, I think, and people often get annoyed when old topics are resurrected...

Those paintings look very interesting. Did the persons draw dreams, or was it just the fantasy that moved the brush?

Well, my art topic has never left the first page... *shrugs*

Oh, I thought you meant your "Favourite Artist" topic, not your Heironymous Bosch one...

I think most of the artists were suffering from neurological disorders such as schizophrenia (Hence the "art by phychotics" - it doesn't mean they're all mad-axe-murderers as some people think, it just means they have a mental illness), and schizophrenics sometimes see things differently to the way "normal" people do (related to the "hearing voices" symptoms).
