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." Inside Edition, The Jane Pauley Show, and NPR did pieces, and The Today Show and Good Morning America got in a bidding war over an appearance by the bashful toddler.

  • This is such bullshit. It's a slap in the face to many artists such as myself who put care and effort into their work. Sure, I could slop paint onto a canvas, too. So can you!! There you go, we're now artists. Gone are the days of working for what you earn. I think the title of "artist" should be a privilage.

  • A genius? No. Lots of kids that age can paint like that. I'm sure I could.

  • @AngelNamedMichelle than do it

  • @junoXinu look buddy, art is a form of expressionism, anybody can do it. Art is an analysis of the human spirit, and the psyche. It doesn't matter if your 5 or 20... to understand what is going on here you must first have the eye to see why this is beautiful

  • this is shit? wth?

    This is what a five year would do, this isn't masterpiece at all. I am also a freelanced artist, I have seen children to her age drawing like this, the child has no talent at all. It's just a normal child painting.....

    It seems as if the parents are just wanting to be on television =_=

  • @junoXinu Did you watch the movie? That was kind of the whole point of the film.

  • The people who attack Marla's work don't understand that many, many artists have struggled for years to capture the youthful innocence and carelessness of a child's paintings.

  • Bullshit.

  • gimme some weed a pipe and some paint and i could crete some pretty wicked shit!!

  • @izzygoboom12 Netflix has it. I just got it in the mail -slept thru a lot of it tho!

  • Another proof that abstract art is mostly just paint bashed on a canvas.

  • Anybody know where I can see the fill movie, online for free? I have to watch this for my english class and I can't find it anywhere on the internet :S
