Lives of the Artists: Masterpieces, Messes (and What the Neighbors Thought) Paperback - 2014
by Kathleen Krull; Kathryn Hewitt (Illustrator)
An entertaining and informative account of the idiosyncrasies—sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic—of twenty famous artists.
Summary
"Fresh, spirited, and unconventional."—Kirkus Reviews Most people can name some famous artists and recognize their best-known works. But what's behind all that painting, drawing, and sculpting? What was Leonardo da Vinci's snack of choice while he painted Mona Lisa’s mysterious smile? Why did Georgia O'Keeffe find bones so appealing? Who called Diego Rivera "Frog-Face"? And what is it about artists that makes both their work and their lives so fascinating—to themselves, to their curious neighbors, and to all of us? This book presents the humor and the tragedy in twenty artists' lives as no biography has done before.

"A lively, entertaining presentation."—Booklist
"Kids will enjoy this brush with greatness."—Bulletin
