About the Book

Learn even more about art through the ages in this humorous and informative graphic novel sequel.

Two kids and their grandpa continue their adventurous guided exploration of art, civilization, and how they interacted and evolved to become something entirely new. Continuing with the Renaissance and iconic works such as The Last Supper, the Mona Lisa, and the Sistine Chapel, the book winds its way through to the work of Vincent van Gogh, the surrealist movement, to Jackson Pollock, and more.

Written by a tour guide for museums and historic landmarks, the text is designed to entertain (with many funny asides and jokes) as it informs. The illustrations accurately portray the art and the artists described, with flavor and humor added to keep readers turning the page. Reproductions of the featured artworks and information about each piece are included in the back, along with a glossary of terms.
