True, I did say in my first post that it was great, I just didn't think the fact that he was painting pictures meant his skill had any artistic merit. If he was pushing a frozen pea around a maze painted on a wooden floor using his nose I'd be equally impressed.
There is a whole 'school' of art by blind people and it is amazing. What they provide as visual material from a point of no vision is truly awesome. Learning to follow raised impressions on a canvas and apply colours accordingly isn't of any artistic merit.
I'm googling Raw Vision... the magazine of outsider art. It used to have a whole section devoted to blind painters. Not sure if its still in publication though.
