"My Kid Could Do That"

A painting by Cy Twombly, one of my

 favorite abstract artists.

Researchers at Boston College conducted a study in which art students and non-experts were asked to judge which painting was better in each of a series of two in which one was created by a professional artist and the other was created by a child or animal. Even when  labels were reversed, participants preferred the professional abstract painting. So, it is more true that "my kid couldn't do that."
