Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists series.
This brief biography discusses the evolution of Calder's distinctive artwork, his artistic influences, and some rudimentary analysis. Simple sentences set in large type make this volume easily accessible to the youngest readers. Plenty of photographs of Calder's sculptures, toys, and mobiles provide visual interest, and a few humorous cartoons lighten the tone.

Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists series.
Using a conversational tone, Venezia introduces Cezanne and his artwork to aspiring artists. Cartoonlike illustrations punctuate color reproductions of Cezanne's and his contemporaries' work, humorously reinforcing art concepts and illustrating moments in Cezanne's life.
