Prodigies and Late Bloomers in Art
Madison Guy’s recent post on Frank Lloyd Wright got me thinking about a lecture by Malcolm Gladwell I heard last year.
In it he discusses the phenomenon of prodigies and late bloomers in art. It’s a very interesting and engaging lecture and definitely required listening for anyone who is, or was, sad at 27 because they didn’t produce the wonderful works of art that others have done by the time they were 25.
Listen to the lecture at the New Yorker site.
