Synopsis
Leads readers on a gallery tour of 19 paintings of flowers. Starts with the work of Renaissance painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo to 20th-cent. artists such as Paul Klee and Henri Matisse. Some artists, such as Edouard Manet in ¿Pinks and Clematis in a Crystal Vase¿ and Pierre-Auguste Renoir in ¿Spring Bouquet,¿ present a more traditional view of flowers by painting them in a vase and by emphasizing the background as well as the blooms. Georgia O¿Keeffe, however, captures the more wild beauty of a flower in ¿White Sweet Peas,¿ whereas Rene Magritte in ¿The Wrestlers¿ Tomb¿ focuses on a single bloom. ¿Will inspire young readers to observe their world and to use their imagination to see like a painter.¿ Full-color paintings. Ages 8-12.Book Details
