Why do paintings have titles?
19.99 €
Once upon a time there was a grandfather and a grandmother. Grandmother was interested in art, reading books about artists, and grandfather was a young painter himself and knew firsthand how to mix paints. And they had a granddaughter, Ema, a high school student, and a grandson, Mikulas, a nine-year-old tomboy who loved more than anything else to play ball and watch soccer matches. One day Ema was assigned a weekend essay about paintings, and then the grandparents decided to take her and Mikulash to the Museum of Modern Art, not just any museum, but a magical one with masterpieces from all over the world. By an amazing coincidence, at the same time, the former director of the museum, who knew better than anyone else the value of the treasures it holds, decided to steal one of them, and while the grandparents were telling Ema and Mikulash about the paintings, robbers snuck into the museum. So the young visitors, without realizing it, became witnesses and even participants of a detective story. This book, which won the prestigious Magna Litera Prize for the best children's book in 2015, will tell how it developed and, at the same time, how art has developed over the past two centuries.
