Here is a report on an experiment by the US government in the fifties. An artist produced a series of 9 drawings during the course of an LSD trip. The picture to the right is number 6, presumably when his brain chemistry was the most scrambled. Picture number 1 was a rather conventional portrait.
I wonder what would happen with an abstract artist, who starts out drawing stuff like this. Would drugs make him draw realistic landscapes?
