Thinking about Child Prodigies: Viewing Aelita Andre's Paintings

Yesterday I paid a visit to Agora Gallery to see the Exhibit, "The Prodigy of Color: Aelita Andre/ a Solo Exhibition," which runs through June 25. I went out of curiosity after noticing a hefty number of comments doubting that the 4-year-old had created the paintings. Despite some people's disbelief, Ms. Andre has captured five-figure fees for some of her works, and in shows from Hong Kong to Italy and now New York, art buyers have snapped them up. Agora has supplied a video that shows Aelita painting. Here's a link to a more extended review with more illustrations that I posted today.
