Paul Klee (Art for Children)

Paul Klee’s wonderfully imaginative world of color, shape, line, symbols, and playful figures is introduced to young readers in this beautifully designed volume from Ernest Raboff’s Art for Children series.

Filled with reproductions of Klee’s work and approachable observations about how he made his art, this vintage 1988 book encourages children to really look at paintings—and to discover how an artist can transform simple shapes, marks, and colors into an entire visual world.

Ernest Raboff's Art for Children series presents briefly, directly, and imaginatively the works of sixteen of the world's most recognized artists. Each book contains a short biographical sketch, a helpful interpretation of the artist's paintings, and approximately fifteen full-color reproductions of the artist's work, as well as many smaller drawings and designs. This highly praised series offers readers of every generation a genuine sense of delight and a thorough appreciation of art history.
