Overview

The intriguing story of art hidden in twenty-six famous paintings by ten artists

Book Intro

(English) 

This is a children’s book and a general art book that shows readers how artists view this world and how we should understand their paintings, while at the same time presenting a unique way to “see” art and “see” the world. The hidden stories behind the masterpieces and artworks of famous artists like Matisse, Picasso, Chagall and Rembrandt are the topic of conversation in the delightful encounter of Mrs. Flower and Blossom.

As readers follow the fresh and in-depth interpretations of Mrs. Flower in the story, they will come to understand the artist’s original way of looking at and expressing the world, and reflect on the various perspectives in approaching life. Before they know it, not only will they acquire a deeper understanding of art, but they will see familiar paintings in a fresh light. When you stand before a masterpiece again after reading this book, the once distant painting will seem like it is speaking to you, and you will feel much closer to it.
