Customer Reviews

A great kid's art book

I bought this at the Tate gallery shop for my kids, who surprise me time and again by pulling it off the shelf for me to read. They love the oddball art, which seems accessible to them presented in this format. I'm going to pick up some others in this series for an early childhood art history selection. It's so great to be able to share this kind of thing with my kids.

Gives a good explanation of the artist's work.

As an art teacher, I have been very impressed with this series of books for children. This volume, in particular, helps to explain some of the interesting and yet bizarre qualities of this surreal artist. I look forward to the next book in this series.
