Artist Blind By Birth: Esref Armagan 2007-08-20 08:34:00 Artist Blind By Birth: Esref ArmaganWhat makes all the difference between this artist's work & others is that he has never seen light in his life. He doesn't know difference from one color to another & he uses his great imagination, gut feeling to paint the objects, which he has never ever seen."Mr. Armagan is an important figure in the history of picture-making, and in the history of knowledge. His work is remarkable. I was struck by the drawings he has made as much as by his work with paint. He has demonstrated for the first time that a blind person can develop on his or her own pictorial skills the equal of most depiction by the sighted. This has not happened before in the history of picture-making." -John M.
