A man fishing by a river (artwork)

A painting in Rita Simon's Traditional Linear style, depicting a man in a landscape fishing. It was produced by a male patient at a psychiatric day hospital. Rita Simon made the following comments about the artwork: "A fascinating picture: the road turns into a tree because it won't lie down. The man who painted it allowed it to be a tree, didn't force it to lie down and become a bridge over the water". This information has been taken from notes made during conversations between Rita Simon and Wellcome staff between 1995 and 1997.
