Children's Literature -
Richly illustrated, artfully designed (including a four-page gatefold) and intelligently written, this biography is enclosed within an irresistible, full-color, full-cover reproduction of the featured artist's work. This and others of the exemplary "First Impressions" series are consistent in approach, yet each author's voice and style is distinct, and all are unusually respectful of the intended young adult audience. Biographies of Faberg, Mary Cassatt, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Carl Farergé, Francisco Goya, Frank Lloyd Wright, James McNeill Whistler, John James Audubon, Leonardo Da Vinci, Marc Chagall, Michelangelo, Pablo Picasso, Paul Gauguin, Peter Paul Rubens, Hieronymus Bosch, J. M.W. Turner, Henri Matisse, and Rembrandt are also currently available. If your library, like mine, circulates large, framed reproductions, make art a natural part of your youngsters' environment. Borrow and hang them in your room throughout the year.Book Details
