Making art history into an inspiring and relatable subject for readers 9 to 12 (and possibly quite a few adults), Michael Bird tells the tale from cave paintings though the 21st century, crafting informative narratives about 68 artists, including Michelangelo, Artemisia Gentileschi, Johannes Vermeer, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Frida Kahlo, Henri Matisse, Jackson Pollock, Louise Bourgeois, and Ai Weiwei. Images of their works are included, while Kate Evans adds more than 100 of her charming watercolor illustrations of the artists themselves.
