The Childhood of Art: Artists... See Themselves Like This

طفولة الفن: فنانون ... يرون أنفسهم هكذا

About two hundred artists, ranging in age from four to eighteen and representing thirty nationalities, took part in an art competition, each of them exhibiting his drawing copied from a photograph. Despite the differences among the various renderings, there is an evident unity revealing the painful points that rankle in their souls (such as a narrow mouth, freckles, big ears, and a long nose). Here are samples of these pictures, each beside its photograph.
