Excellent intro to artist for preteen and teenagers

In looking for art books for my preteens and teenager I happened upon this series. This book did an excellent job of describing the artist's life, the environment he worked in and his many accomplishments in prose a preteen can understand and appreciate. The pictures and paintings enhance the prose and have given my kids a great tutorial in preparation for a trip to see the real thing.
