Book Description
"When I was the age of these children I could draw like Raphael. It took me many years to learn how to draw like these children."--Pablo Picasso, upon viewing an exhibition of children's drawings, as quoted by Sir Herbert Read in 1945 The idea that modern art looks like something a child can do is a long-standing cliché. For some modernists, however, the connection between their work and children's art was direct and explicit. This groundbreaking and heretical book, centered on such modern masters as Klee, Kandinsky, Picasso, and Miró, presents for the first time material from the collections of child art that these artists actually possessed as they undertook some of the greatest masterworks of their careers. As the first art historian to pursue this connection in detail, Jonathan Fineberg here explores the importance of children's art to the work of key modernists from Matisse to Jackson Pollock. Fineberg's inquiry unfolds in this handsome book, which juxtaposes modern masterpieces with the drawings by children that directly influenced them. Fineberg discusses the effect of primitivism and Freudian thought on some of these artists, and demonstrates how they valued children's art for many reasons, including its naive spontaneity and celebration of the moment, imaginative use of visual language, and its universality and candor. For each of the masters who collected child art, the reasons for doing so are as varied as his or her unique style. Fineberg has uncovered most of these major collections of child art assembled by celebrated modernists. Many examples from these collections are reproduced in this book for the first time, together with explanations as to why expressionists, cubists, futurists, and others displayed the art of children alongside their own work in exhibitions of the early twentieth century. In chapters devoted to Larionov, Kandinsky and Münter, Klee, Picasso, Miró, Dubuffet, the Cobra artists, and artists after World War II, Fineberg examines how each artist exploited aspects of child art to formulate his or her own artistic breakthroughs. With over 170 color plates and 140 black and white illustrations, this visually compelling book will stimulate new research among art historians and will inspire museum visitors to see some of their favorite modern masterpieces in a new way.

Book Description
Excerpt from Pictures and Painters: Essays Upon Art; The Old Masters and Modern Artists But few words are necessary to introduce the following papers upon the Fine Arts, from the "North American Review," the "Massachusetts Quarterly Review," and the "American Review." They evince so great an extent of knowledge, and so much maturity of judgment, in respect to the subjects of which they treat, and so much learning generally, that their republication cannot but tend to the diffusion of correct ideas upon Art; and, as a consequence, the wider appreciation of its importance. A concentration of public attention is wanted to uphold American Artists, and insure for them that measure of favor to which they are justly entitled. Without government aid, or adequate public appreciation, they can neither bestow time upon their works, nor give "scope to their genius." The first step towards giving to Art "a local habitation and a name" in our country, would be the union of all the different Galleries of this city under one roof, for study and exhibition.
