SMALL GREAT GESTURES

ART

Art is a language that helps us to express ideas and feelings to both ourselves and with others. Although it has always been a part of life, it appears in different forms, depending on the era and the culture in which it develops.

Not only has the concept of art changed over time, so too have artists. From being considered mere craftsmen to being celebrated as geniuses, and from the preserve of only men to the ever-more visible works of women.

This book aims to bring the history of art closer to young readers. Some artists in this book created art that was unlike anything that had been seen before, others approached daily subjects with a new perspective, turning them into something extraordinary. All of them were brave enough to defy the norms of their day and by doing so, changed history and our way of looking at the world.
