Picture Book of Klee: Who’s the Star?

Product Description

A playful picture-book art collection that unravels the mysterious charm of Paul Klee. Through a story about the rivalry between color and line, children discover why Klee’s paintings feel so unique and captivating, even when words cannot fully explain them. The book also includes interactive pages where kids can separate Klee’s works into “color” and “line,” then try freely drawing one element themselves.

This title is part of the long-selling Shogakukan Art Book series, first published in 1996 under the slogan “Masterpieces will play with you.” Across 13 painter-focused volumes and 3 volumes of Hirameki Bijutsukan, the series has sold over 700,000 copies in 15 years and received the 47th Shogakukan Children’s Publishing Culture Award for proposing a new way for children to engage with art. In recognition of Masako Yuki’s long-term dedication to bringing art to young audiences, she was also honored with the 50th Kurushima Takehiko Culture Prize in 2010.

Ideal as a child’s first encounter with art, this series helps families enjoy famous paintings together, nurturing creativity, curiosity, and a lifelong love of art.
