Why we carry this
Stephen Brown invites you into the gloriously strange universe of Florine Stettheimer, that bewilderingly talented oddball who painted her way through 1920s New York like she owned the place—which, in her mind, she probably did. This book captures what made her tick: the audacity, the humor, the refusal to play by anyone's rules but her own. A portrait of an artist who turned eccentricity into art form.

Yves Klein Painted Everything Blue And Wasn't Sorry
A clever, quirky read-aloud biography of a leading modern artist, for kids Artist Yves Klein always thought about how he could surprise his audience.
