Books with author Nicki White

Meet the Artist: Alberto Giacometti is packed with inspiring art-based activities for budding young artists, who can create interesting portraits, sculptures, and collage landscapes. Starting with a brief introduction to the life of Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966), an important Italian sculptor best known for his distinctive elongated figures, the book then offers a series of creative activities that explore prominent themes and ideas in the artist’s work. Featuring beautiful reproductions of actual artworks, and illustrated by a leading contemporary illustrator, this book, like all titles in the Meet the Artist series, encourages children to use art as an avenue for exploring ideas and expressing their own experiences.

Collages of vintage magazine cuttings and found materials create surreal, humorous imagery that evokes nostalgia for the golden years of printed ephemera. Portraits of fictitious characters and graphical records of bizarre conversations that have never happened fill this colorful book. Nick White skillfully creates playful anecdotes in his unique style.
