A fun middle grade romp through Renaissance Italy. As a lover of Renaissance art, and children‘s literature, this was absolutely lovely.
pickSome of my fav #Artist books.Tagging the one I haven't yet posted. Before he was famous, John Singer Sargent painted Virginie Gautreau with a fallen strap, intimating sex, which shattered her reputation. Repainted with both straps, it hangs today at the Met as "Madame X." Davis researched family papers, libraries, and private collections to weave together this fascinating history. Great read! #NewYearNewBooks @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

“Some artists paint pictures of flowers or people or landscapes. Not Jackson. He expresses his thoughts and feelings directly on the canvas, calling it “energy and motion made visible.”
This children's book is an example of a biography, told from a third person perspective. Upon reading it, I found it to be a fast-moving narrative. It was a rather short read in comparison to other biographies. Additionally, it was very easy to read and follow along with. It told a beautiful story focusing on the subject of art. It offers its readers additional knowledge on the subject and the various thoughts that go into the work of artists.
