Synopsis

Lois drags Clark off to cover an exhibit at the Metropolis Art Galleries. Once a greatly admired painter, Paul McKenzie has suffered a mental breakdown and is now painting scenes which people consider ridiculous and impossible, such as a patch of summer in the middle of a winter landscape. Superman helps him regain his confidence by creating scenarios which mirror the paintings.
