it could actually be Dextrophobia (fear of the right side) since its very rare and the painting is moving to the left but i might be just thinking too hard here and it has nothing to do with the other clues

I see now that the guy was probably receiving treatment for fear of drowning. When I first saw the picture I thought there was a sinking feeling to the troikas, and the tracks of the sleds are bent in a way to suggest a flowing river.
We have fed the heart on fantasies, the heart's grown brutal from the fare, more substance in our enmities than in our love

Yeah but seriously isn't it too easy to just say "fear of drowning" "fear of water" "fear of rivers" I mean if only one guy got it in 15 years the phobia must be pretty damn rare... and a bit more complicated

People are jumping to conclusions without considering all the clues before they make a statement. I myself haven't made a statement because I don't know what it could be, I like the "it's from the perspective of a melting snowman" theory, but that has nothing to do with how it sounds, nor is it a close guess with "fear of open spaces."

The spring idea is fucking retarded.

i sent this to my psych teacher and he said the only thing that came to mind was fear of melting/disappearing.

this guys answer makes the most sense to me
-----

HINT: The characters in the first plane do not cast any shadow they are phantasms.

More: two planes can be distinguished in the picture: the first one containing the troikas and the second one containing the real world. The shadows are carefully constructed for the real world and completely inexistent for the imaginary one.
All the characters in the imaginary plane look towards the painter. The ones behind completely ignore him.
If the three troikas were not present the painter would have had to leave a big white empty space; But he can not leave a big empty space as he is agoraphobic. He created the three troikas, to fill in this space.
No character in the real world looks at the troikas which are supposed to be quite noisy.

I think its the fear of disappearing+death+drowning all at once.

It wasnt a question of what phobia the guy has. It was the question of what detail in the picture gives it away.

Most of the items do not have any shadows under them.

That + the abscence of correct proportion/linear perspective + the fact that all the people sitting in the sled are looking directly at you are what is giving you guys uneasy feelings.

Fear of death is a rare phobia?
Disappearing maybe.
Drowning not that rare either.

The fact that the picture is very unnatural shows he's a nut. As the one before said. Scary looking children, rocket sled, shadow problems. It's just a very unsettling picture made by an unsettling mind. The children aren't happy. Not everything casts a shadow. Without objects? Well I don't know what it looks like without objects~ ;p

Same. And I've looked at the damn pic for ages, read others thoughts. But if only 1 person has solved this in 15 years, it's not gonna be so easy as to just blurt out your first random thought as to what it is. I'm not getting any smarter looking at the pic; I have no guesses :s

I dont think its the picture itself thats unnatural or creepy, but just the backstory that came with it that gives us the feeling of us. Hell, that picture could very well just be an old version of a Hallmark card.

Agreed, I got the creepy feeling too but dismissed it quickly due to the background story that we *know* he's got some weird insanity going. If this pic had been on my fridge I wouldn't have thought twice about it. "what a nice christmas pic" if you will.

For anyone who's really interested there's a thread in the GBS (General Bullshit) forum in the SomethingAwful forums discussing it. I *think* you don't need an account, but I'll link it below:
It's very long; currently 12 pages and a lot of excellent theories, including the discovery of the so-called "actual" explanation which I think is a bit ridiculous.

What is the so-called actual explanation? I dont feel like wading through 12 pages of goon talk.

he has a fear of the spring season, his insanity is that he think himself is a snowman. this is basically what me and my friends came up with after a couple hrs of brainstorming, it makes sense with all of the hints the professor gave.
