Reply to comment by art4idiots in Piet Mondrian artwork displayed upside down for 75 years by Superbuddhapunk

In direct opposition to what one of the dullards wrote above, the fact that you went through that whole process including this comment is the point of art. The people who say “a kid could’ve done that” aren’t wrong but the part they’re missing is SO WHAT

Yea, it's never the gotcha they think it is. I think most kids are better at creating art in general than most adults. They aren't jaded or hindered by self doubt or expectation. Unfortunately, at a certain point, most people lose that ability. I keep a piece or two from all of my family's childhood art. I have a wonderful drawing of a bridge in a city with a shark swimming in the water underneath. That cousin is now an engineer who designs and builds bridges around the world. The art isn't "special" in any way other than a wonderful insight into who he is, and I love that about art.

Edit: I should add that the bridge is meticulously drawn with a ruler on graph paper. He was 8.
