Book Reviews of Cezanne and the Apple Boy (Anholt's Artists)
Book Review: Especially for children ages 4-7
Summary: 5 Stars
"Cezanne and the Apple Boy" is a new title in Laurence Anholt's children's series about famous artists. Paul, the artist's son, is the apple boy, who goes to visit his father where he paints on a mountainside. Although people scoff at the paintings of Paul Cezanne, his son believes in him. He tells an art critic named Vollard to be careful with his father's paintings because he has invented a new style of painting. In time this opinion is validated by Mr. Vollard and the rest of the world. Through his son's belief in him and his own artistic efforts, the painter Paul Cezanne achieves financial success and is able to live quietly and frugally on his earnings, continuing to paint his beloved scenes and studies. "Cezanne and the Apple Boy" is very sensitively written and contains a number of small reproductions of some of Cezanne's famous paintings. "Cezanne and the Apple Boy" is especially for children ages 4-7.
Summary of Cezanne and the Apple Boy (Anholt's Artists)
This brand-new title in Laurence Anholt's beautifully illustrated children's series of stories about famous artists recounts a wonderful adventure experienced by Paul, a little boy who is named after his father, Paul Cézanne. The elder Cézanne had been away from home for so long that the boy has difficulty recognizing his father when he joins him on a painting expedition in the mountains of southern France. They quickly become fast friends, and the artist takes great pleasure in painting a portrait of his apple-cheeked son. Most of his paintings, however, are landscapes of the mountain country where they are camping, although the people who live nearby often laugh at the artist's pictures, which they think are poor. But young Paul admires his father's work--and he is not alone. A picture dealer from Paris happens to be in the region, and when he sees Cézanne's paintings, he thinks they are wonderful. Before long, Cézanne becomes famous and wealthy. The story, enhanced with Laurence Anholt's illustrations on every page, include several that are reproductions of Cézanne's famous paintings.Art Books
