Publisher's Description of History of Western Art in Comics Part One
As two kids give their grandpa a tour of Paris, he starts an interesting
conversation with them–about where all the art they see in their
lives–from the movie house to the stadiums to museums and even the
subway– started. Dad’s impromptu history lesson goes back to the first
Cavemen drawings to the pyramids of Giza, and by the end of the book
includes Greco-Roman feats of ingenuity and the frescoes of the
Renaissance. Recounted as a narrative about why different civilizations
created different kinds of art, centuries of art history are explored
entertainingly for young readers.
