This beautifully illustrated book seeks to tell children the true, diverse and decolonized story of art around the world.
Even before they could write, people were telling stories with pictures. And though art is universal, the story we know about it is not. Art Decolonized opens your eyes to a global view of art by taking you on a whirlwind tour around the world and through time. With two companions – a boy and a girl – travel through 25 destinations from the history of art, circling the globe. As they travel, they explore the rich visual canon of each culture they visit by looking at different key works and examining the lives of the artists who created them.
