More DescriptionLearn as you become an artist or an explorer! Whether they are guides to museums, catalogues for temporary exhibitions, or books on individual artists, 'Happy Museum!' books are great accessories for children, their families and teachers, on trips to a museum, an exhibition, at home or in school. The approach taken is playful and interactive, so that the child can learn while having fun! The books are peppered with games, comments, food for thought, opportunities for creativity and drawing, and concepts from art history. They help children to assimilate ideas which might seem complicated or abstract: techniques or theories such as 'still life', 'watercolour' or 'Impressionism'. * Discover the world of Gustave Caillebotte. * What is he painting in the garden? * The pleasures of the countryside! * Rowing, swimming, fishing... * What are the gardeners doing in the kitchen garden? * Discover Haussmann's Paris. * How modern! * Meet his friends Renoir and Monet. * Painter, patron of the arts, collector, naval architect, gardener... * Discover the talents of the famous Impressionist painter! AGES: 4 plus and the whole family (parents, grandparents, teachers) AUTHOR: Catherine de Duve is an art historian and painter who worked at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium.

Catherine de Duve has written more than thirty books of children's art for Kate'Art Editions, Alice Edition (Brussels), Hatier (Paris) and The Birdcage (USA).
