WRITTEN IN ENGLISH
Designed as a fascinating colour chart, this book introduces young readers to the palette of the most famous Impressionists - from Monet to Pissarro through Berthe Morisot, Cézanne, Degas and Renoir.
The result of close dialogue between an author and a graphic designer, this beautifully illustrated "box of colours" offers a sensorial introduction to painting through colour. With Meadow green, nasturtium red, mouse gray, buttercup and more, through subtle details and an ingenious fold-out system, children are invited to immerse themselves in the paintings in order to explore the most poetic shades that make up the masterpieces of the Musée d'Orsay.
Around twenty vivid and well-researched texts take us behind the scenes of artistic creation and bring us as close as possible to the very substance of the paintings. The brilliant layout reveals the materiality of the canvases and explores certain fundamental concepts such as range, scale, harmony, detail and touch.
