I don't know what phobia, this guy, has nor from what mental disorder he suffers. But i will tell you what i see. I see little groups of people . I counted seven ,and in any of this groups i see
a person dressed in red. It may be something it may be nothing. I dont know . I've heard that, art therapy , it's used for helping mentally ill people and they can put a diagnosis on someone , through colour choise . Alot of red and yellow it's used on that painting . It may be a lead.

I like this answer the best
This exercise does not seem to be illustrative of the patient but more of the mental problems of the professor.

A patient makes a adequate copy of a postcard - is not a great artist but does a better copy than most. The professor having aprior knowledge of the condition projects his opinion, highlighting some aspect of the painting, and then uses this as an example of intellectual insight - being able to diagnose a patient from some obscure feature in his paintings (also likely present in the original painting).

The professor is suffering from egomania, some degree of sociopathy, and delights in low level sadism - torturing his students for 15 years.

This is the copy right? Cause the one posted in the thread and the link that says "higher resolution of original picture" is the same picture.


The original looks much darker, so maybe he is afraid of the dark. I have no idea.

This kinda reminds of this question a friend of my asked me. He said that it had been asked to mentally ill murderers, and they have all answered the same, and most normal people don't get it.
The answer was obvious to me but some of my other friends didn't get it at all.
Any way, it goes something like this:

A man is at his mothers funeral, were he meets this girl he gets intersted in, but he's forgets (or is to scared or whatever) to get her number.
Some time later he kills his own dad. Why?

+ Show Spoiler +
Cause he wants to see the girl again


Btw, I think that blue spot you're all talking about is just shadows.

I have farfetched idea and not exactly sure where i'm going with it.

In the picture, you see the 3 drivers as "sinister" in a way while the children are somewhat subdued.

Now the question is, why are the children on the sleds? 1. kidnap, 2. for fun.
If its kidnap, why would the drivers put hay on the sled to make it more comfortable.
If its for fun, why aren't the kids happy.

Now look @ the kid's faces, they are all looking towards their right, while the drivers seem oblivious to it. There must be somthing on the right that would draw all of their attention. Because of this factor, I think the kids are involuntarily on the sleds which is why i think they are being kidnapped.

However, all of them looking towards the right could also mean there is somthing on the left which they do not want to see. And what is on the left? Houses + people talking to each other. Instead of being kidnapped, they are running away during Christmas. Now why would kids run away from home during christmas a time where they can get presents and have holiday? I think the creator may have been an orphan/felt neglection during holidays and he is portraying himself as the kids. Somthing may have happened prior to this picture that caused the kids to leave. the drivers may have promised them somthing better. I think this is on the right track, but i can't think of any phobia that is appropiate.

PS : I am reminded of the Pinochio movie from this painting.

The #3 seems to also have relevance. 3 horses, 3 kids per sled, 3 drivers.
Yes, shes mine regardless of how gosu my zvt is

This is stupid. I agree with the professor being a bit of a sadist, or liking to mess with his students. If you look at the whole, taking out the details, there are still a hundred possible different "phobias" or neuroses that could be at play. If you look at the whole including the details, there are thousands and thousands of possible answers Fear of snow, fear of silence, fear of spring, fear of non factors of 3, whatever. A phobia can be directed towards anything in the damn world. There is no way to definitively say "Oh this detail or this part of the painting DEFINITELY shows that he suffers from _____." Seems like an exercise in futility to me.

If spring is coming from the left, how come it's still snowing in the far-left of the picture? (Edit: Ok, maybe those are stars ) And 2 children are skiing toward "spring". Seriously, they're trying too hard.

To me the "deaf" theory sounds best so far. Although.. I cannot see how this painting can be indicating a severe mental illness, call me a non-believer.

I would love it if the final answer would be something where we would all go "holy shit, that actually makes sense and is totally awesome", but I'm feeling skeptical today so I'm gonna go with the prediction this is either a "your interpretation says this and that about you, even though I'm totally pulling this out of my ass"-bullshit smartass psychgame, a preteenager's prank or a washed-up mediocre proffesor desperately trying to bring attention and a feeling of superiority to himself.

I really would enjoy being proved wrong on this one.

Ok, in an attempt at seriousness, even though i think you are all totally gay for participating in this, making me gay for joining you, but not quite as gay since i already recognize your gayness, look at the track marks in the snow. The horses have already run this course. They are running in the same track marks they already left. They are running in circles. The painter has a fear of butterflies.

-This was painted by a person with a rare and severe mental disorder. He was constantly seeing his own fantasies all around him. He also had a certain phobia (undisclosed).

I think what he mean is that his severe mental illness is the fact that he sees his own fantasies around him constantly. Its the phobia thats the riddle.

Ok, upon reading that it is best to free your mind, and imagine the painting with no objects around, i felt the only way to surrender myself to the painting to find what really lurks beneath, was to make it as abstract as possible so that at first glance it wasnt recognizable as a painting. So i decided to turn it upsidedown and invert the colors, and lo and behold what i found:

I dunno, maybe the phobia is the riddle. But that would make this so much less interesting, as there are phobias of everything, including phobia of phobias! See link here.

Kills dad, another funeral, the girl will be there so he can get her number second time around...sure with the loss of both of his parents but heck, getting laid is important.

I hope everyone of you recognizes that these eyes are fake ?!
First I thought "Wow, scary" but give it 2 second view and you see it´s fake.
If you don´t believe, try yourself in paint and you´ll see.
But I really find it a good idea to "play" with the picture in this way (to invert colours and stuff..)

Two whips are raised and the middle one isn't...it really does mean the middle sled has a rocket booster...it just doesn't need the whippage.
