Truly a fun experience! Most people, in real life, won’t be able to see these works of art in person, so any book that can shine a light on their magnificence is okay in my book. Here are the works that were specifically shown or mentioned:
The Hay Wain (John Constable)
Madame Moitessier (Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres)
The Umbrellas (Pierre-Auguste Renoir)
Surprised! (Henri Rousseau)
Dynamic Suprematism (Kazimir Malevich)
Definitely check out more of this series than just this one if you want to increase your child’s art appreciation!
