SEPARATING FINGER-PAINTED GENIUS FROM CRAYON-DOODLED CRAPKids create them. Parents submit them. An art critic reviews them. And donrsquo;t think for one second he doesnrsquo;t know exactly what hersquo;s talking about! With characteristically overblown; egotistical; WTF critiques; this book hilariously deconstructs works of childrenrsquo;s art as if they were the newest installations at a modern art museum.Age canrsquo;t constrain greatness. Mozart composed at five. Picasso was painting at seven. If one doubts that young children reveal signs of genius every time they touch crayon to paper; just ask any parent about the artwork on their refrigerator door. But regular people donrsquo;t understand “art;rdquo; so it is impossible for them to see the difference between the work of an idiot savant and a kid whos just an idiot. In this book with its 60 color images of real kidsrsquo; artwork; New York art critic Dan Consiglio separates the wheat from the chaff in the field of childrenrsquo;s art.
