Interesting stories about world famous paintings
Description
Book Introduction
This is the seventh book in the consistently popular [Fun Stories That Make You See the Newspaper and Hear the News] series, which contains everything elementary school students need to know about world-famous paintings.
Appreciating famous paintings from a young age can help develop creativity and sensitivity.
Moreover, famous paintings contain the people, history, and lifestyle of the time, so they can serve as excellent background knowledge of world history.

But if you go to an art museum without preparation, you will be at a loss as to what to see and how to see it.
Because the more you know about a masterpiece, the more you see and feel its emotion.
This book is written by an author who is an exhibition planning director. He carefully selected 86 must-know works of art, from Greek art to modern art, and works that often appear in textbooks. He introduces methods for properly viewing and appreciating famous paintings in an easy and fun way.
Among them, we included about 20 pieces of modern art, which are increasingly featured in textbooks.


The author's accessible and engaging explanations help you understand the major works of prominent modern artists such as Chagall, Duchamp, Picasso, Dali, and Warhol, which can be difficult to understand.
Additionally, to allow for a proper appreciation of the works, 86 world-famous paintings were photographed in large format, and other major works by the artist were also introduced for comparison.
