Tarmo Pasto, a psychology professor, was the first person to preserve Ramirez's drawings. Hoping to study the link between madness and artistic creativity, he provided Ramirez with materials and support, and helped to find an audience for his work. Pasto sent the drawings to mainstream museums, such as New York's Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim, but was met with resistance. 'This material is very perplexing to everyone,' explained a representative at the Guggenheim. 'It doesn't fit comfortably within the canon. It doesn't fit comfortably anywhere.'
Dunievitz also supplied art materials to Ramirez and encouraged him. He dated the drawings, making it easier to study Ramirez's stylistic developments and to analyse the changes. These newly discovered works are better preserved than those from the Pasto collectionmore colourful, more vibrant and on crisper paper. But with their lone riders and beacon-like Madonnas, they continue to tell the same story of a man who has travelled so far from home, never to return.
