Awhile back I bought a slender book of art and ruminations from handicapped children that was put out by the Easter Seals people. The publication date of the book was 1977 so most of the kids who did these art pieces are now grown up or passed away, some of them had serious incurable illnesses. Their art leapt off the pages of that slender book and into my heart and mind. Here's some of my favorites from the book which was entitled
An Exceptional View of Life:
I love the pattern and repetition in this one.
The fact that a handicapped child made this one just blows my mind. It's one of the most mature pieces of art I have ever seen.
Life on chicken island wasn't easy but somehow the chicken made due.
This one reminds me of Diego Rivera by way of Edward Munch.
I love the scale and composition of this one. And the fall colors as well.
