Presents a biography of Pierre Auguste Renoir
评论 (3)
《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
Gr 2-4-Another easy-to-read biography of a famous artist. Full-color reproductions of 16 of Renoir's paintings appear throughout, including A Girl with a Watering Can, along with 9 works by his contemporaries. There are also five of Venezia's characteristic cartoons of speculative events from the artist's life (hiding under the queen's train to illustrate his childhood games in the courtyard of the Louvre, or greeting the public after his painting style became popular). Especially useful is the way the author shows Renoir's art in relation to the French Salon and to the other Impressionists. Paintings of the same scene by Renoir and Claude Monet are reproduced on facing pages, and do more to describe the Impressionist style than many paragraphs of text. The color reproduction is good; the typeface large and readable. There is no bibliography or index. More accessible to younger students than Rosabianca Skira-Venturi's A Weekend with Renoir (Rizzoli, 1991), Venezia's title is a useful series entry.-Pam Gosner, formerly at Maplewood Memorial Library, NJ (c) Copyright 2010.

These books are illustrated with reproductions of art and with lively cartoons that humorously present events in each artist's life. In the text, art terminology is defined in informal language, creating accessible art history books that are fun to read. Their small size and large print make these books appealing for reluctant readers as well as budding art enthusiasts. (c) Copyright 2010.

《书目》(Booklist)书评
Gr. 2^-4. Venezia's picture biographies in the Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists/Composers series will draw young children right into the joy of great art. In each case, he combines an easy, informative text, several fine art reproductions, and his own lighthearted cartoon scenes about the artist's life. Yes, cartoons. The humor is a welcome contrast to the solemn approach that drives away so many children (and adults) from art and classical music. The Renoir volume includes some examples of the famous paintings in full color and a simple discussion of impressionism; there are also some funny scenes of Renoir as a child scribbling all over the floor. The Beethoven volume has grandeur as well as cheerful informality. For example, when Venezia talks about the Pastoral Symphony, there is a picture of a gruff Beethoven conducting some feisty birds in the bushes ("OK everybody, once more from the beginning. And let's try to get it right this time"). Yet there is also talk about the power of the music and its beauty ("you almost feel like you're actually in the middle of a beautiful countryside"). A great way to prepare children for the pleasure of a museum visit or a concert. --Hazel Rochman
