See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil!

I found this nice picture in an Art book. I wish I remember its name, but if you know then please let me know.

Anyway, usually the “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” is illustrated by 3 monkeys. In the painting below, it is illustrated by Bears. That’s why I found it interesting.

According to Wikipedia, there are three differing explanations of the meaning of “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”:

  1. In Buddhist tradition, the tenets of the proverb are about not dwelling on evil thoughts.
  2. In the Western world both the proverb and the image are often used to refer to a lack of moral responsibility on the part of people who refuse to acknowledge impropriety, looking the other way or feigning ignorance.
  3. It may also signify a code of silence in gangs, or organized crime.

Removing the stone of folly

I forgot the artist’s name but I know he or she is famous. This painting drew my attention because it reminds me of the old days when people used to characterize what we now deem as psychological illnesses as demonic possessions.

In the same way, this picture shows how that crow-man is trying to remove the stone of folly (the title of this painting).
