If he was born blind then how did he even know what things like clowns or windmills even look like?

I guess they'd rely on their other senses. Hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling.

Ah I looked it up, apparently in order to learn what something looks like he has a person who can see trace the image of it so he can feel the lines.

I would guess they would have spatial awareness, and using familiar shapes and descriptions would probably be how they might perceive the world around them.

Yes?
Hearing a TV show with a clown in it. Some kids crying, some kids laughing. Descriptions of the clowns dress and what it does. Other people telling them what color green is, and that green is the color of grass or some shit.
Touching an orange, associating it with being round. Smelling it to confirm it's an orange.
As for Bill Clinton...well..I'd assume he felt the traces of a portrait. The same way blind people know which bathroom door to step into.

These paintings are shit. If the guy could see people would care less. This blind guy just lucked out and was born at a time when blind people have it better than the years before. Now we have one more asshole to talk about overcoming some bullshit. How about the people who got it right and were born with the ability to see? Rewarding mediocrity only keeps the world a weaker place.

I find most art to be somewhat pretentious anyway. What's that one quote? Oh yeah...
"Know why art is so expensive? Because if it wasn't, nobody would buy it."

If this guy wants to impress people he should pass a vision test. Then I would be impressed.

One could argue that it's impressionist or something to that effect. If I hadn't said that the artist was blind, some people could have interpreted it that way.

No I am good. I just hate it when blond people are given such attention. Everybody falls over themselves when they see what no eyes did with some colored pencils and a notebook but they would shit their pants if he was driving a city bus.

I don't know how comfortable I'd feel if a blind man was driving a city bus either, to be honest.

Lets play a game. I've been blind from birth. Explain green to me.

Okay, let's go.
I tell you green is the color of grass. Then you go back to your painter home and I label the green paint "green" so you know the color to paint your grass.
