Did you ever notice that when a person of great talent creates within a limited medium it is phenomenal?

Imagine if you gave Picasso a coloring book and a pack of crayons. I’m thinking you’d have a very important coloring book.

Do you have any real life examples of this phenomenon? Does it have a name?

What’s up with the one priced at 4 million? Is that serious? It looks like the edge of my math textbook.
