Before They Were Famous: How Seven Artists Got Their Start

32 pp. | Millbrook | November, 2010 | Library ISBN 978-0-7613-6077-3 $25.26
(3) 4-6 Raczka compiles some fascinating early works of seven artists: Durer, Michelangelo, Gentileschi, Sargent, Klee, Picasso, and Dalí. The text describes how each artist began painting as a youngster and went on to shape a career. These biographical sketches, along with reproductions of the astonishing works themselves, may inspire budding artists to explore their own talents at an early age.
