A perfect introduction to art for children everywhere, The Art Book for
Children brings the clarity and innovation of Phaidon's bestselling
Art Book to our youngest readers ever. A guide to 30 great artists and
their most famous works, designed for both parent and child to enjoy
together. The book encourages children to look closely and use their
imagination to understand why artists choose to create the work they do
and in the way that they do it.
From Leonardo's iconic Mona Lisa to Andy Warhol's equally iconic
Marilyn, and from Jeff Koons' exuberant, flower-encrusted Puppy to
Grant Wood's severe American Gothic, 30 artists have been selected
from the original Art Book for their significance in art history as
well as their appeal to children.
The giants of art history such as Van Gogh, Matisse, Rembrandt, Turner
and Velazquez are all here, but the Art Book for Children also offers
its readers an introduction to challenging, recent artists including
Cindy Sherman and Donald Judd. The Art Book for Children makes this
broad, exciting selection of 30 key artists across the history of art
clear and accessible to children from age seven and upward, but will be
of interest to readers of all ages.
Ages 7-12
