Children's Culture and the Avant-Garde: Painting in Paris, 1890-1915

By Marilynn Olson and Marilynn Strasser Olson

This volume explores the mutual influences between children's literature and the avant-garde. Olson looks at children's culture in relation to such painters as Rousseau, Chagall, Picasso, Modersohn-Becker and Nicholson, noting the qualities of the era that were defined as uniquely childlike, the relation of childhood to high and low art, and the intersection of children's literature with fin-de-si cle artistic trends.
