Colorful Dreamer
Colorful Dreamer: The Story of Artist Henri Matisse | Marjorie Blain Parker
3 posts | 1 read
An inspiring portrait of one of the world's most loved artists There was once a boy named Henri, whose dreams were full of color even though his hometown was dreary and gray. His parents expected him to learn a trade when he grew up, but being a law clerk bored him, and he continued to dream of a colorful, exciting life, and of being noticed. Then Henri started painting . . . and kept painting and dreaming and working at his craft until he'd become one of the most admired and famous artists in the world. This lyrical, visually rich picture book is more than an excellent biography; at its core, this remarkable book is an encouragement to never give up on your dreams.

#FallIntoReading Day 13: #Colorful Dreamer is about the life of artist Matisse. Henri‘s everyday life was depicted to be in mono – drab, unexciting, plain – as compared to his dreams that are filled with life and vibrance. While he ended up studying law and worked as a law clerk – he never felt a sense of fulfilment and joy with what he does. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-dmb
