- <p> Years ago, as a small child, she became upset when an art
- teacher "found my work disagreeable." Now a mature and
- accomplished 14, Wang Yani shrugs off criticism and paints as
- she pleases -- a favorite subject is the monkey. Last week the
- Chinese prodigy, who first put brush to ink at 2 1/2, became
- the youngest artist ever to have a solo show at the Smithsonian
- Institution. Despite strained U.S.-China relations, she was
- permitted to attend the opening in Washington. Perhaps seeking
- fresh inspiration, she also took in the Baltimore aquarium and
- sampled Popeyes fried chicken.
