The Blind Painter from Alexandria
It is a forceful painting! It communicates an essential truth - and thousand words would not be able to render it to us again.
The author, Hans-Peter Szameit, was born in 1967 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He is of Norwegian descent.
The painting is on view at the Principle Gallery in Alexandria, Virginia.

Oh, I thought you were admiring the painting each time you stop in the gallery!

I admire the works from the gallery and I intend to write about some of them.
I think this Blind Painter is of great value. I haven't yet finished the post about it - I am still thinking to say something more, only it is hard to find words - this painting says something essential and it says it so forcefully that other words become useless.

I too have been struck by this portrait. I first saw it in American Art Collector magazine and it has haunted me ever since. I'm a collector of offbeat paintings of narrative realism where the viewer is left to define the intention of the artist for themself. I suspect this painting strikes an emotional cord because it portrays human frailty in a very raw way that reflects our own vulnerability back at us.
