Then you would add black dots for eyes, an orange triangle for a nose and a black dotted smile. But if Picasso painted a snowman… From that simple premise flows this delightful, whimsical, educational picture book that shows how the artist’s imagination can summon magic from a prosaic subject. Greg Newbold’s chameleon-like artistry shows us Roy Lichtenstein’s snow hero saving the day, Georgia O’Keefe’s snowman blooming in the desert, Claude Monet’s snowmen among haystacks, Grant Wood’s American Gothic snowman, Jackson Pollock’s snowman in ten thousand splats, Salvador Dali’s snowmen dripping like melty cheese, and snowmen as they might have been rendered by J.M.W. Turner, Gustav Klimt, Paul Klee, Marc Chagall, Georges Seurat, Pablita Velarde, Piet Mondrian, Sonia Delaunay, Jacob Lawrence and Vincent van Gogh. Our guide for this tour is a lively hamster who—also chameleon-like—sports a Dali moustache on one spread, a Van Gogh ear bandage on the next. “What would your snowman look like?” the book ask and then offers a page with a picture frame for a child to fill in. Backmatter thumbnail biographies of the artists complete this highly original tour of the creative imagination that will delight adults as well as children.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 257mmItem Length: 231mmItem Width: 5mmItem Weight: 175gAuthor: Amy NewboldIllustrator: Greg NewboldContributor: Greg Newbold (Illustrated by)Genre: Children's ReferenceBook Series: Reimagined Masterpiece SeriesRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
