Hilarious childhood biographies and full-color illustrations reveal
how Leonardo da Vinci, Beatrix Potter, Keith Haring, and other great
artists in history coped with regular-kid problems.
Every great artist started out as a kid. Forget the awards, the sold-out
museum exhibitions, and the timeless masterpieces. When the world's most
celebrated artists were growing up, they had regular-kid problems just
like you. Jackson Pollock's family moved constantly--he lived in
eight different cities before he was sixteen years old. Georgia
O'Keeffe lived in the shadow of her "perfect" older brother Francis.
And Jean-Michel Basquiat triumphed over poverty to become one of the
world's most influential artists.
Kid Artists tells their stories and more with full-color cartoon
illustrations on nearly every page. Other subjects include Claude
Monet, Jacob Lawrence, Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van
Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Beatrix Potter, Yoko
Ono, Dr. Seuss, Emily Carr, Keith Haring, Charles
Schulz, and Louise Nevelson.
