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 some great work but it really seems too sophisticated for a child to pull off... if Marta is the sole artist on these paintings, she needs to be studied...
if it is a joint effort of both Marla and her fatther, it should had been presented as so and the work would had been appreciated and admired just as much...
but if they are holding back that information, it qualifies the work as "fakes."
it doesnt madder if the kid painted it or her father its just a kid painting and yes pretty much everyone can put colours on a canvas and no, not everyone can make compostitions that actually transport sth and yeah maybe its special because its painted by a kid and transports sth not everyone can since its from a kid if you like it buy it if someone says its art and you believe it then believe it but never, ever judge abstract art, if you dont know what its about
I saw this movie and it is clear that her father is the one doing most of the painting, in the DVD extras, a woman who owned an upstate NY gallery said that Marla submitted for her show and the gallery owner when she read Marla's statement was deeply offended becuase a 4 year old could NEVER have written that, for her parents to do this to her, to lead her to believe that she is an art genius is narcissitic on their part and WRONG!
