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.
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2204525&perpage=40&pagenumber=1


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

Page 11. Wade through 1 page of "goon talk".

im pretty sure if we can find the link between the whole of the picture and why the horses have blurried legs(in the water) we would have the answer


Maybe he was trying to do a logo for TeamLiquid, with horses and water.
His phobia was that Manifesto could ban him, so he was very communist while making the picture and thats why everything is well balanced 3 children, 3 windows, 3 horses etc.

ok, so this is bullshit. the prof didn't know what he was talking about, since he didn't know that the guy merely produced a copy. A bit of russian cultural knowledge is required to get the "right answer" anyways.

anyone notice the consistancy in the color yellow?

the yellow houses, the yellow light in the windows, the yellow baby carriage, and the man riding the far right horse is wearing a yellow jacket while the other 2 are wearing black jackets.

The answer should be in the difference of the original from the copy. There are no shadows in the original. The red cloth (rocket booster) are now in the back of the top sledge. More houses. Painters perspective further back from the houses but still close to the horses. Number 3 is even more significant in the original since there are 3 skiiers hanging out talking. In insane version the skiiers seem to have the same color of their clothes (I migt be colorblinde here) for some reason. Still that would be a minor detail and not significant. The childrens faces are probably drawn like that due to lack of skill as a painter.

Well I got nothing so I'll quit now. But I'm still sure the solution is in comparing the pictures as one painter was not insane. Regardless wheter the professor knew about the original or not.

EDIT: If he was afraid of water, I doubt that he would be able to make that other painting of a storm.

lol @ the completely random snowman bullshit

I definately think its a hoax and this is all bullshit trying to get peopl eto think or whatever.

However though, in that weird water painting the guy looks white getting out of the water, maybe thats the snowman =o

Maybe so, but what's the bad side of making a group of people critically analyze something together in a civilized discussion?

fear of ice? or maybe falling through ice. the answer should be something thats different between the original and the insane person's version, and its pretty clear that the horses are running on an icey surface in the reproduction, in the original it was just snow. original had clouds of snow being kicked up behind the sleds, reproduction doesnt. reproduction also has that streak of blue which is probably the edge of the frozen over body of water. also in the original the horse's hooves are digging into the snow, as are the runners of the sled. in the reproduction everything is resting cleanly on the surface, that could just be the painter's skill but he copies fairly minute details in other areas. the fact that the sled riders look depressed, or at the least definetly not as joyous as in the original, suggests that they are upset now that they are on the ice, while they were happy when they were on the ground.

the shadows seem like they should be significant, the fact that none of the images in the foreground have one, but its the same in the original, the insane person was just copying that detail.

the fear of the sun idea is interesting because everything in the background is astoundingly yellow and everything is so dark. fear of light might make more sense, as he may be able to focus on yellow without it triggering the phobia, since yellow would be related to the sun/source of light, but not actually being the light itself. fear of the sun or anything directly related to yellow and he wouldnt able to stand so much yellow in the painting itself.

its not a fear of empty space, he removes space-filling details that were in the original, the bushes and stuff.
