Need last name (Russian sounding) of a precocious young painter, first name George.

Years ago this 4 year old kid was featured on 60 Minutes because of his nearly savant-like ability to draw. His name was George something and his last name was Russian (Petrovic?). His stuff sells in galleries and I own one of his drawings done with magic marker but I can’t find the gallery info (bought it at an art expo). He just signed it “George.” He’s probably 9 or so now. If you remember his name I am in your debt.

Um, Petrovic would be Serbian or Croatian, besides.

That’s it Sampiro. The SD never ceases to amaze me. Had you heard of him? I couldn’t seem to find the right Google search terms.

Guinastasia, you don’t think I knew that? :wink:

I’m a reference librarian and I have access to a subscription-only database with 60 MINUTES transcripts through work, so I found it that way. Glad I could help (and nice to be the first to answer a question for a change).
