My Kid Could Paint That

This looks interesting. From the description of the film, My Kid Could Paint That:

In the span of only a few months, 4-year-old Marla Olmstead rocketed from total obscurity into international renown – and sold over $300,000 dollars worth of paintings. She was compared to Kandinsky and Pollock, and called “a budding Picasso.”

Once the media attention ramped up, the obvious question was asked: was Marla a modern art genius or was it all a put-on? Visit the official site to learn more about this film or read a bit more about Marla here.
(Thanks, Ben!)

    This film looks very interesting and I would like to see it, but on the other hand, it makes me furious to see that art critics and people of the “art world” have absolutely no clue. All children are artists and like us grown-up artists, they paint what they like… that’s it. That’s what Pollack did, he painted what he thought should go on a canvas.

    The mere fact a movie like that is done, it’s a proof that the whole matter is a put-on.
    The child may be talented, or not, that’s not the issue.
    The point to me is that a movie format, the disgusting reality-show look, it is NOT the way to discuss, it is a tool for the kid’s parents to get more media attention.
