77. "My Kid Could Pain That"
Marla Olmstead is a painter. She was four when this documentary was shot. Her paintings currently sell for $20,000. There has been some controversy surrounding the authenticity of her work. This 2007 documentary tells some of this story.
What started as a documentary about what is art turned into an issue of authenticity. It's good that I watched "F for Fake" a few months ago. I recommend both films.
Would you pay a few thousand dollars for an abstract painting? Would you be upset if you found out the painter wasn't who you thought? Would it make the painting less worthy?
