losing your memory? Imagine getting through that as an artist, probably the most fucked up thing, aside from losing a limb or becoming blind.

the thing nobody ever points out with this picture is that he wasn't a good artist to begin with. Nothing of value was lost

He wasn't a good artist to begin with, but he could have gotten better. He could have made beautiful works of art. Because he didn't, all we have is the artistic representation of the deterioration of the human mind, until nothing remains of the person that was.

Did their perception really change like this or were these results mostly caused by dissociation between their intellectual functions and between intellectual and motor functions?

It's in the OP filename, William Utermohlen developed Alzheimer's later in life.
Louis Wain's condition was not documented well at the time so speculation ranges from schizophrenia to autism to whatever the fuck.

In conclusion: nobody has any business worrying about this shit, and also OP is a fag.

You have to wonder if he would in one of those rare moments of clarity or would he just think everything was still fine in that moment before he gets locked back far away in his mind before eventually disappearing completely

When Picasso does it, it's called genius.

>> No.4705238

My grandfather had alzheimers. Near the end he really had no idea what year it was. He would say he wanted to go home and see his mom. One time he didn't know who I was and when my sister told him, he started freaking out because he thought I was still a baby. And his reaction was just "I'm so sorry I can't remember, and I'm sorry you have to see me like this." English was his second language and he forgot that too. It's just terrible. I can't say for sure but I have to imagine you just get bad at painting. It's not that you get more creative or you're tripping balls or something. You just forget the rules and techniques and regress to being a little kid again but in a different order. So you get something painted well but drawn poorly. Or something with construction but strange proportions.

make sure not to be sleep deprived to reduce your chance of dementia : )

>> No.4705879

>>4705872
It's true, sleep deprivation leads to early onset alzheimer's. I don't know why people would intentionally sleep deprive themselves. Being awake longer than 16 hours is misery inducing for me. After 24 hours I'm ready to lie down and sleep almost anywhere and at 36 hours I'm basically a zombie. Who would do this willingly? It's awful
