"Picasso lived to be ninety-two years old. He was a great painter, but he was great at other things, too. He made sculptures, prints, drawings, beautifully colored dishes and bowls."This biography introduces Picasso in a manner that is fun and interesting to young children. The author's premise is that if children can think of artists as real people, then the world of art will open up to them.
Through his own illustrations and a clever story line, along with reproductions of the artists' works, the author conveys a wealth of information about Picasso, his time, and his art. Great for reading aloud and discussion.
