Same painting, different artists
Something interesting as well, a person from this website also painted the sinking ship, I wonder if they know anything about A. Kuplin?

Here are some things to consider:
1) Two web sites have posted pictures by this artist, at least one of them may be a real museum that carries the originals. Do they have bio information on the artist?
2) The winter picture is reprinted in at least one book or magazine (the source of the scan). What does that book have to say?
I really doubt that it's possible to deduce the person's disorder by just looking at the painting. I think it's a little smug of the "professor" to make that claim while already knowing the back story. So the next step, clearly, is to get the back story from another source.
One more thought; since this image is published in at least 1 book, and is a topic introduced in a psych class (allegedly), it may be a case study that's been going around for 15 years or so.
Sorry, one more:
It’s also possible that someone decided to play a little joke on the world, invented the professor, picked a harmless painting from a book, and invented the whole hullaballo from scratch.
So who made the scan from the book, what book is it, and what is the accompanying text?
Who took the picture of the painting with no fold in the middle? Where was that picture taken?
I, grandmamma, painted The Ninth Wave, in watercolour, after Kuplin and Aivasovsky, one of more than 100 watercolours and drawings since 22 September @ grandmamma.com.
I guess the question is, do you know anything about this Kuplin grandmamma?
