I didn't know Delius was blind. Interesting. He must not have had a lot of competition. One would think that blindness would lend a cachet of implausibility to Impressionism though...  :-\

He had normal eyesight until his 60s. He didn't become completely blind until he was around 66.

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Ah, a late bloomer then. I expect he had a clear field for this honor though, narrow as it is. :-\

Delius had syphilis which often causes blindness.

If only this had been a thread comparing blind impressionist painters, or even better; blind testing impressionist painters!

Judging by his looks, it must have been a one time affair! A hooker? :o
