Musea Art Review #15
TomHendricks474
Title: Untitled . Art work by Nick Crow age 6
What is it? Art work. Water color on paper. 8" square.
Technical Quality: Precocious for an artist so young
Innovative Quality : Slightly above average.
Review: Nick has done a painting of 6 vertical strokes and 1 horizontal
stroke that looks like 6 trees with bushy tops, a shoreline, and the 6 tree
trunks reflected in the water below the shore line.
Each tree is a different color: green, orange, scarlet, blue-green, brown-red,
and purple. The horizontal strip is olive green.
Somehow the simplicty of it all suggests a fine sketch , and the range of
colors suggest an eye better than one would expect in a child artist.
Sometimes a painting from a youngster has all the charm, freedom, and naive
talent of a proffesional artist (who in turn is apeing the best aspects of
untrained art).
The trick is can he do this consistently. Nick has succeeded in this case, and
it
could pass for a professional artist's work. Fluke or talent? Time will tell.
