Paul Cézanne was one of the greatest of the French impressionist painters. This delightful book follows his son, also called Paul, as he travels to the mountains to spend a summer with his father. He discovers that his father, a very large man, paints the natural world with a passion that few can understand. But one day they meet an art dealer in a village who offers to try to sell some of the paintings in Paris ... the rest is history.The reader gains a real insight into Cezanne the man through the eyes of a child - sometimes frightening, fastidious (he won't touch other people), warm-hearted, driven by a passion for his art. And it provides a vivid introduction to Cezanne's work, with reproductions of his most famous paintings incorporated in the illustrations.

Die berühmt-berüchtigte Künstlerin Kristal Havfruen wird tot aufgefunden - in einem Tank mit Formaldehyd treibend. In Laurence Anholts Krimi müssen der Zen-Ermittler Vincent Caine und seine ironische Partnerin Shanti Joyce sich zusammenraufen, um den spektakulären Mord aufzuklären. Ein charmanter Krimi und Auftakt der neuen Serie um den achtsamen Buddhisten Mr. Caine.An einem Juliabend versammeln sich zweihundert Gäste, um der Eröffnung der Retrospektive von Kristal Havfruen beizuwohnen. Doch als die Kunstliebhaber den Saal betreten, schwimmt in dem Tank mit Formaldehyd nicht wie geplant eine Kristal-Puppe - sondern Kristal selbst.DI Shanti Joyce, die nach dem Ende ihrer Ehe und einer missglückten Mordermittlung von London nach Yeovil gezogen ist, erkennt schnell, dass der Fall eine unkonventionelle Herangehensweise erfordert. Also schlägt sie sich zur abgelegenen Hütte von Vincent Caine durch, seines Zeichens Buddhist und ein brillanter Detective.Gemeinsam, doch selten einer Meinung, tauchen die beiden in Kristals Bohème-Freundeskreis ein und decken ein Geflecht aus Eifersucht und Hass auf, das bis in ihre Zeit an der Kunsthochschule zurückreicht. Doch bald wird Shanti Joyce und Vincent Caine klar, dass darunter ein komplexeres Motiv verborgen liegt. Kann das Zusammenspiel von Shantis toughem Pragmatismus und Caines ruhiger Intuition die beiden zum Mörder führen?

It’s been thirty years since Laurence Anholt began his beloved series about great artists and the real children who knew them. Since then, these classic tales of Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, and many other geniuses of Western art have provided a springboard into a lifetime’s love of art, selling millions of copies around the world. The stories have been adapted in many forms including ballet, opera, Braille editions for blind and partially sighted children, and a full-scale stage musical in Korea. Alongside Anholt’s dazzling watercolor illustrations, this anniversary edition includes dozens of high-quality reproductions of the artists’ work, child-friendly biographies of the artists, and interactive questions for young readers. Each story is closely based on historical events and extensive research. In many cases, Anholt visited the artists’ homes and studios, walking in their footsteps and interviewing their relatives. He was granted private access to Monet’s house in Giverny and became close friends with Sylvette David (now Lydia Corbett), Picasso’s famous Girl with a Ponytail.In order to make the artists and their worlds accessible to young readers, Anholt employs a unique device in which the events are seen through the eyes of a child protagonist who actually knew the artist. In this way, readers are able to “piggyback” through the story, and artists who might otherwise be inaccessible become humanized. On a subconscious level, the reader absorbs many inspirational themes such as kindness, self-esteem, perseverance, creativity, and courage.Perhaps it is Anholt’s gentle storytelling or his handcrafted illustrations. Perhaps it is his love for children and passion for his subject. One way or another, a whole generation of readers have found a lifelong love of art through his stories. And now they are passing that precious gift to their own children. The gift of art is golden.This volume features the following artists and their stories: Van Gogh and the Sunflowers, Frida Kahlo and the Bravest Girl in the World, Cézanne and the Apple Boy, Picasso and the Girl with a Ponytail, The Magical Garden of Claude Monet, Tell Us a Story, Papa Chagall, Degas and the Little Dancer, Leonardo and the Flying Boy.
