Art & Max

With eye-popping illustrations, three-time Caldecott Medal winner David Wiesner takes us on a fascinating journey through the world of art. One pretentious lizard paints a carefully studied portrait. Another randomly picks up paints and brushes, unsure where to begin. What emerges is an exuberance of colors—enhanced by the desert landscape in the background. Acrylics, watercolors, and drawings are deconstructed and reinvented, and one undergoes a Jackson Pollock-esque transformation. Combining stunning imagery and minimalist dialogue, this is a book that will inspire the artist in all of us.
