Our staff photog, Drena, took this photo at the Brookside Children's Day in 2005. If this doesn't make you long for days of carefree youth, nothing will. Conicidentally, I saw a screening of My Child Could Paint That yesterday and it was disturbing on several levels. The documentary covers a 4-year-old art world sensation and questions the nature of modern art. Deeper than that we look at what happens when a preschooler gets bombarded by overnight fame. Then comes the ultimate question: did SHE really do that? And what if she didn't? If the paintings were say done by a 35-year-old man are they still the same paintings? See it when it comes out and make up your own mind.
