I've heard of child geniuses, but this is something else. Hailed as a fine arts painter genius at 22 months old... hmmm. If the family get to be millionaires and it later turns out she didn't really have talent but was just playing around, how embarrassed they'll be!
I couldn't open it.
ReplyDeleteBut as far as I know, acoustic perception develops at much earlier stage of life than visual. You can have very young music geniuses, but for painting you normally need to be elder, to be able to represent something in 3D for example.
But maybe if it is only abstract and without any representation of reality, it works... Then there is a big part of marketing and the imagination of the people looking. As we, humans, do have a great tendency to give meaning to any shape, it should work.

ReplyDeleteYou're right. I've found it's nigh impossible to make any shape which most humans won't find some kind of significance to.

ReplyDeleteAnd I say it really was Jesus on that piece of toast, no matter what you think!
I guess a kid blobs down colours roughly how they are feeling and thinking.
ReplyDeleteFor a adult artist they have to learn how to not paint or draw, but let out the raw feeling. I'm thinking about a load of old Pollocks or maybe some Scarfe.
What is regarded as innocence in a child is genius in an adult. How is that fair.

ReplyDelete... acoustic perception develops at much earlier stage of life than visual.
ReplyDeleteAcoustic perception develops already before birth early in the womb (at least after the 6th month), which has many consequences for the brain development ... do you know the research of Prof. Tomatis and his consequences developping tools for healing ("Audio-Psycho-Phonologie")?
See for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomatis ... (of course) the medical mainstream doesn't agree with him, but there are many experiences about very positive results.
this is the place to go for pompous know nothing blowhards
ReplyDeletecombine godlike stupidity with equal amount of pretention and you get aniko.....or eolake
Well, if you gotta blow, blow hard.
ReplyDeleteIf they were embarrassed, I bet rolling around in their millions would cheer them up.
ReplyDeleteI won't be surprised if this kid ends up like one of the cast of Diff'rent Strokes.
