This is a votive painting, you see, the artist invokes God, or in fact offers him the paiting as an oblation in order to have a wish fulfilled or to be freed from it. This is pure atavism, it is for this same reason that primeval cavemen painted the buffalos they wanted for dinner."

"The artist, that's this fellow with the closed eyes to the right?"

"No, that ' s some other character, the artist probably used him as a mask, to deceive us and make us think that someone else is seeing the object of his desire behind closed eyelids."

"And what did he want for dinner, maybe those chicks over there?"

"So it seems. But he must have been afraid that his desire would be unacceptable to his social environment, that's probably why he pulled off this whole travesty in the first place."

"How do you know what his intetntion was? Nobody can really see what someone else is seeing."

"Thank God he can't. Except maybe in someone else's paintings."

A number of works presented in this chapter was exhibited in 2001 at the Beck Gallery in Zagreb under the title "I Can See Pictures Seen by Someone Else", while others were cereated later.
