The thing I will wonder for the rest of my life, no matter what the price I pay, is: why did this happen? Did the artist paint it back in 1973 to rip a nightmare out of his own mind and prison it in oil-paints on canvas—did he know what it would do, did he create it deliberately to transfer the nightmare to someone else's eyes and mind, or was something working through him, using him as its medium as he used the paint?
Because it's very definitely not the only painting the artist completed.
