The patient was a 43 year old male with an intractable cancer. He was a technical staff member of a printing company, with a speciality of producing silk screens. For about two years since the gastric cancer was relapsed, the patient produced 50 prints of silk screen. He asked his physician to make psychological analysis through his works and died in June, 1981. His posthumous works could be divided into four stages by the coloring technique used and the images they gave.The first stage was a period when the relapse of cancer was suspected in him. The background of the pictorial compositions was colored in light blue, no objective depictions were seen but mostly abstract, e.g. cloud-like objects soaring towards the sun. Evinced in the works were positiveness and vigorousness which was also representing inwardly his 'anger' toward the illness afflicting him.The second stage was a period when his tumor was growing. The background of his works was, colored grey representing his depressive mood and uneasiness, and the pictures of cities, automobiles, motorcycles, electrical applicances, etc. were all covered by haze-like patterns. Touches of actuality and consciousness were seen in his works, but expres-sions of 'denial' was hidden behind them.The third period was when the patient was told of the diagnosis of the disease he was suffering. The background of his works were in navy-blue color. The colors used in a loud tone were pink of gentleness and white of holiness. Depicted were the people in his reminiscence, moon, sun, helmet, birds and a soul-like objects flying up from the earth. Psychologically, a trend of his 'depression' was symbolized.The fourth stage was the three months before the patient was hospitalized again when his systemic symptoms were exacerbated. The background of his works was colored dark. The conspicuous colors used were green and pink. In the panoramic views depicted were feather-like objects fluttering in the sky, the lifeline running horizontally, birds, sun, etc. 'Acceptance' of death even in a depressed mood could be sensed there.In the processes of anger, denial, depression and acceptance, the patient appeared to have accepted death and departed from this world peacefully as his mental condition was symbolized by the colors of pink and green, birds, and the sun
