Th e whimsical strokes, the powerful rushes, the soft, immaculate renderings all attract me to a plain of gratitude and memories and wishful fantasies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo confess, I also wrote this collection of essays as an exercise in intellectual enrichment concerning one of my favorite subjects: great artists. I have traveled throughout the world and visited some of the most fabulous museums imaginable so I may gleam a small portion of the lives of the artists whom I selected for this brief book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI selected two great pictures for each artists: ie The Straw Hat for Rubens; Fishing Boat on the Beach for Van Gogh; Symphony in White #3 for Whistler; Tobit and Anna for Rembrandt, etc. With each artist I delved into their lives with a specific and original interpretation of why they drew as they did. I also present a brief analysis of the paintings. It would take a reader a lot of research to accumulate what I present in so brief a space.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis children's book may serve to delight the young reader to learn more of the lives of the artists who had gained fame. The etchings are replicated so the child may draw within - and yes, even outside - the lines to experience the wonder of reds and greens and blues on an imaginary canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Joseph Schenck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1462007341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781462007349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.25w x 0.17d","brand":"Walter Joseph Schenck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175401173247,"sku":"9781462007349","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_66a91466-b730-42a2-b030-776d2cef8976.jpg?v=1771333541","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/worlds-greatest-artists-walter-joseph-schenck-9781462007349","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
