Discovering Child Art Essays on Childhood, Primitivism and Modernism

"The breadth of contributions, the eminence of the authors, and the new perspectives brought to light help clarify dramatically the seminal role children's art played in paintings, drawings, and aesthetic theories of many of this century's most innovative artists."--Steven Mansbach, Pratt Institute "The premise that many of the great masters of twentieth-century art collected children's drawings in depth, and that these drawings directly influenced some of their most celebrated works, is extended and explored [in Discovering Child Art] by a diverse group of museum directors and curators, art historians, psychologists, philosophers, and critics. . . . This book is recommended for both art history and art education university resource shelves."--Kent Anderson, School ArtsFineberg, Jonathan David is the author of 'Discovering Child Art Essays on Childhood, Primitivism and Modernism' with ISBN 9780691086828 and ISBN 0691086826.
