Circus: Looking at Paintings

Paperback (Hyperion June 1, 1993)
Leads readers on a gallery tour of 19 paintings of circus scenes. From the work of an unknown Indian artist to Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, Georges Seurat, Marc Chagall, and others, each artist s vision and interpretation of the circus is unique. Some artists, such as Reginald Marsh in Pip and Flip and John Steuart Curry in The Flying Codonas, depict the drama and excitement traditionally associated with circus act. Other artists, such as Edward Hopper in Soir Bleu and Max Beckmann in Acrobat on Trapeze, used their view of the circus as a means to convey the horror and despair they felt about war. Will inspire young readers to observe their world and to use their imagination to see like a painter. Full-color paintings. Ages 8-12.
