Renoir Picture Book: Is It a Secret?

Product Description

An enchanting picture book that invites children and adults to enjoy the paintings of Impressionist master Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Focusing on expressive details from works such as the portraits of young girls in “Reading” and “Girl with a Bouquet of Flowers,” the riverside scene of mother and child in “On the Terrace,” and the dappled sunlight of “The Swing,” this book gently introduces how to look at and enjoy great art.

This title is part of the long-selling Shogakukan Art Book series, a collection of picture-book art albums published since 1996 under the concept “Great paintings play with you.” Spanning 13 volumes by individual artists plus 3 volumes of “Hirameki Museum,” the series has sold over 700,000 copies in 15 years and received the 47th Shogakukan Children’s Publishing Culture Award for its fresh approach to art appreciation.

Created and supervised by art educator Masako Yuki, whose lifelong efforts to bring art closer to children were honored with the 50th Kurushima Takehiko Cultural Award in 2010, this book is an ideal first encounter with art for your child and a charming introduction to Renoir for the whole family.
