This is a clever and delightfully odd portrayal of painter Jackson Pollock, the first in a series of picture - book biographies about contemporary artists. Jackson Pollock was truly unique among painters. Instead of using brushes in front of an easel, he poured paint over canvases laid out on the floor. He moved around, splashing paint, making the vivid liquid flow with energy and rhythm. Pollock's story is told here with humor and quirkiness, perfectly paired with black - line illustrations and plenty of paint splatters. Fausto Gilberti brings movement, life, and playfulness to the real - life story of one of the most significant contemporary artists of our time. Suitable for kids aged 4 - 7.
This picture - book biography is a great read for kids aged 4 - 7. To use it, simply sit down with your child, open the book, and start reading the story aloud. As you read, point out the black - line illustrations and the paint splatters to make the story more engaging. When it comes to handling the book, be gentle. Don't let the kids bend the pages too much. Keep it away from food and drinks to avoid stains. After use, store it in a dry and cool place, like a bookshelf, to keep it in good condition.
