Encyclopädisches Wörterbuch Der Kritischen Philosophie: Oder Versuch Einer Fasslichen Und Vollständigen Erklärung Der In Kants Kritischen Und ... Und Sätze, Volume 1... (German Edition)
Winner of the Randolph Caldecott Medal and the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award
Jean-Michel Basquiat and his unique, collage-style paintings rocketed to fame in the 1980s as a cultural phenomenon unlike anything the art world had ever seen. But before that, he was a little boy who saw art everywhere: in poetry books and museums, in games and in the words that we speak, and in the pulsing energy of New York City. Now, award-winning illustrator Javaka Steptoe's vivid text and bold artwork echoing Basquiat's own introduce young readers to the powerful message that art doesn't always have to be neat or clean--and definitely not inside the lines--to be beautiful.

El niño Radiante (Radiant Child) La Historia Del Joven Artista Jean-Michel Basquiat (Ganador de la Medalla Randolph Caldecott y Del Premio Coretta Scott King para Ilustradores)
¡Ganador de la Medalla Randolph Caldecott y del Premio Coretta Scott King para Ilustradores! Una impactante biografía ilustrada del extraordinario artista Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Jean-Michel Basquiat y sus singulares pinturas de estilo collage saltaron a la fama en la década de 1980 como un fenómeno cultural sin precedentes en el mundo del arte. Pero antes de eso, fue un niño que veía arte por todas partes: en los poemarios y en los museos, en los juegos y en las palabras que pronunciamos y en la palpitante energía de la ciudad de Nueva York. Ahora, el texto vívido del galardonado ilustrador Javaka Steptoe y sus atrevidas ilustraciones que se hacen eco de las del propio Basquiat presentan a los jóvenes lectores el poderoso mensaje de que el arte no siempre tiene que ser prolijo o limpio (¡ni tampoco debe quedarse dentro de las líneas!) para ser bello.
Edición en ingles, Radiant Child, también disponible.
