Genius- and bad eyes - made great artists
The Vancouver Sun Nov 2, 1962

It wasn't genius alone that led such master painters as Monet and Renoir 
to their famous fuzzy styles - it was also failing eyesight, a doctor says.
Durint 15 years of research, Dr. James Ravin, an ophthamolgist and 
self-processed frustrated artist from Toledo, Ohio has found that Renoir 
was nearsighted, Rembrandt was farsighted and Monet had cataracts.

  ABOUT LONG ISLAND

Published: July 17, 1983

THE nursery-school table is covered with sheets of paper covered with 
brilliant color. The 3-year-olds dip sponges in the pans of paint and 
fervently dab on more.

''Do you want blue, Karla?'' asks Ellyn Gadue. ''Yes, blue, blue,'' says 
Karla Gilbride, with the decisive air of a tiny, blond Picasso. Blue is 
an abstract concept to Karlla: She cannot see her painting, or Miss 
Gadue, the day camp counselor, or the five other children, three of whom 
cannot see her. The two others are legally blind, seeing dimly or in 
patches.
