Dementia Artist’s Drawings
The artist behind these portraits was undoubtedly brilliant. This much was obvious from the drawing he made of that man in 1967. Unfortunately, the artist developed dementia, which severely affected the way his brain worked and altered his ability to draw. This became evident in his drawings in the mid-90s all the way to 2000, which showed a gradual decline of his skills with each year. By 1999, the portrait looked more like a vase and by 2000, the portrait was more like a misshapen human face.
