Flowers, bones, and the vast landscapes of New Mexico shaped Georgia O’Keeffe’s vision of the world, and this book invites readers to see through her eyes and feel inspired to create their own masterpieces. Ever wondered exactly what your favourite artists were looking at when they decided to draw, sculpt, or paint the way they did? Created in full collaboration with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this charming illustrated series of books to keep and collect lets readers see what the artists saw, and feel inspired to create their own art too. In What the Artist Saw: Georgia O’Keeffe, meet the famous American painter and step into her life to discover what led her to look closely at nature and paint her iconic flower and bone artworks. See the vast New Mexico landscapes that shaped her work, and have a go at producing your own close-up still-life pieces. Follow the artist’s story and uncover intriguing facts about her environment and key masterpieces, then see what you can see and make your own art. Take a closer look at landscapes, or even yourself, with Vincent van Gogh, try crafting a story in fabric like Faith Ringgold, or carve a woodblock print at home with Hokusai. Every book in this series is one to treasure and keep, perfect for budding young artists to explore exhibitions with before continuing their own artistic journeys.
