Delusions of Grandeur Wonderful painting
An ambiguous painting, very thought provocating, it can be interpreted in varing degrees. My interpretation is long, but I hope it contributes to it's mysteriousness of it.
I get the feeling he's being torn apart with the ideologies of extreme logic, the doctor embodies everything that is associated with rationality, while the other image embodies everything associated with our mental creativity that has no standards. It's represented in such a way, that ingeniousness is mistreated and misunderstood as insanity by those who are too far inclined with a high degree of Rationality. while on the contrary, his mental states are well balanced, represented as a tune, a sort of melody all interacting seamlessly peacefully, which are represented on the faces of the musicians, ranging from sadness, hopelessness, peace and happiness, he has it all under control, which he is the conductor of his own psyche. my conclusions, people who are outside the pocket of society can appear and seem strange because they perceive reality differently, which is like a melody, sometimes intelligence takes on the fringes of insanity because people aren't used to being challenged intelligently.
