I read "Art Up Close" today and was having a good time playing with this book. This book copies famous paintings from ancient Egypt to modern Picasso. The interesting part is, the book extracts small parts of each paintings, and reader could find where those small parts are in the paintings. It is like "Where's Wally?" series.
What amazed me was that, by looking for those small parts, I pay attention to the details of each paintings. Even an Egypt painting, which looks simple at a glance, has lots of interesting details. No two men on the painting are the same.
The book aims for children, but I believe adults can have a good time reading it, too.
