I am slightly amused with this. This four-year-old was dubbed the new Picasso and people were falling all over themselves to get her paintings. Turns out there are allegations that her father has been helping her. A new documentary called My Kid Could Paint That hopes to shed light on the situation, but:
We see her squeezing gobs of thick acrylic paint directly from the tube onto the canvas, smooshing it around with brushes, fingers, and spatulas, and using plastic squeeze bottles to add delicate squiggles and swirls. Yet, when Bar-Lev tries to film her creating a single work from start to finish, the camera-shy toddler grows silly and restless, and in one incriminating scene, begs her father to draw a smiley face on her picture. (He declines, grinning nervously.)
Huh.
