In this single case study, paintings by a visually impaired and cognitively handicapped
savant artist are evaluated. He paints his pictures exclusively from memory, either after having
looked at a natural scene through binoculars, or after studying landscape photographs in
brochures, catalogues, and books. The paintings are compared with the models from which
they were derived, and the resulting generative changes are accounted for by an interaction
between impaired visual input and memory transformations.
