Come Look With Me: Asian Art

By: Kimberly Lane

“At a hundred I shall be a marvelous artist. At a hundred and ten, everything I create—a dot, a line—will jump to life as never before.”
     —Katsushika Hokusai

Asian Art highlights twelve masterpieces from South, East, and Southeast Asia, tracing artistic traditions through time and across cultures.

From an 11th-century Indian sculpture of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, to the eye-popping “superflat” art of Japan’s Takashi Murakami in the 21st century, each piece of art is introduced with a full-page color reproduction. An accompanying page includes a brief biography of the artist, notes on the art form and its symbolism, and/or information about the time period. Questions designed to encourage thoughtful responses to each piece provide points for discussion, to develop young readers’ greater understanding of art.

Asian Art is published in cooperation with The School at Columbia University.

Such questions as, "Where does your eye go first when you look at the painting?" can be addressed to a broad audience. Similar to Joyce Raimondo's "Art Explorers" series (Watson-Guptill), Come Look With Me has enough differences for both sets to have a place on library shelves.
