This irreverent introduction to art gives children the confidence to respond to art on their own terms, and most importantly to have fun with it.
Under the playful guidance of Leo, the museum cat, readers encounter abstract, Surrealist, nude and contemporary art, ancient sculpture, still lifes and portraits. But instead of being told facts to memorize, theyre equipped with the knowledge that allows them to come up with their own interpretations of famous art works. Knowing how symbols work, theyll decipher clues in Frida Kahlos self-portrait; understanding Surrealism, theyll decide for themselves what Joan Mirós abstract doodles are all about.
This book shows that art isnt about knowing the right answers its about having fun, making up your own mind and seeing things from a different angle.
