I really love this one



though she probably didn't do it...

I agree with Rob.

Dali > De Chirico

That one is awesome. A few of them were really good, but they were always the ones that nobody else saw being created except her father. And it wasn't so much that people thought he was doing them, but also that he may have been coaching her, telling her to fill the edges, where to start/stop with colors, etc. It may have been that she had some artistic talent, he saw that, and he realized that with a little bit of a mature finishing to them, he could exploit it and cash in.

tht's a good question. I cannot remember. in te film they never showed her do a complete painting from blank canvas to finished.

It ussually turns out in these cases that the parents or one parent has been "helping"

It's been a while since I rented it, but I think the special features on the DVD shows 2 paintings she painted that were supposedly filmed from start to finish. Needless to say, they weren't as complex as her, uh, more "creative" art pieces..

You mean they were bad.

I don't like saying that about a 4 year old's painting, because that's a little too young for harsh criticism. But compared to the others, they were bad, and it just shows that there was something else in the mix when the cameras weren't on.

mom and dad were gonna milk her talent dry before she even reached adulthood.

It didn't help his case that he was a jock in high school but secretly liked to paint, but never developed the skills and ended up being no good at it. This is clearly a living-through-my-child scenario.

Dali is too contrived.

epic as in much more work done...

A piece of paper doesn't make yr opinion absooute. :P

I just wonder how someone managed four years (I dont know if the education system is the same in the US) without writing an essay containing "fuck this shit is boring shit ass fuck".

never said it was. the thread asked forf opinions on the two artistas in question.
