Au fil de l'Art #1

A delightful parade of painters, sculptors, and artistic figures from across the centuries fills this opening volume from Ivana and Gradimir Smudja, published by Éditions Delcourt. The cover alone is a treat — a lively procession of period-costumed artists, palettes and brushes in hand, gathered around a dramatic creature rendered in warm, sketchy watercolors that hint at the wonders inside. Au fil de l'Art volume 1 looks to be a charming and visually rich journey through the history of art, drawn with obvious affection for its subject.
