Art with Claude

An illustrated introduction to art history for children. Uncle Claude takes his niece and nephew on a journey through significant movements/moments in visual art, encouraging them to think critically about why, for instance, Franz Kline and Rembrandt might be similar. More broadly, there is an attempt to arrive at a satisfactory answer to a question that bedevils the children, "What is art?" Readers of all ages will enjoy lively illustrations referencing works by Claude Monet, Jackson Pollock, Damien Hirst, Joan Miro, and others.
