From Publishers Weekly
Gr 3-5-This book, pleasing to the eye, explores the work of this Mexican artist. Through carefully selected paintings, in combination with excerpted quotes from the artist, Tamayo's approach to his work is revealed and explored. Selected shapes and figures from the featured piece of art serve to highlight the geometrical elements of his work, and the vibrant colors of the page design reflect the spirit of the artist and his culture. The overall message to young readers is that art is a craft, like any other, that must be perfected through years of practice and observation. A biography of the artist, a bibliography, and a full listing of the works shown are appended. A superb addition to any library.
