【藝術不貴不遠，絕非大人莫屬】《Action Jackson》

近年來，努力推廣的藝術終於稍稍成功融入生活。藝術不再如此遙不可及，更不是有錢人的專利。然而，對於兒童——最真實的藝術家——而言，卻全然不是這麼一回事。大眾普遍認為藝術是高深莫測的、藝術家是瘋狂、無法理解……
對此，三位作者Jan Greenberg, Sandra Jordan及Robert Andrew Parker清楚知道該做些什麼。兩人負責文字，一人繪圖，藉此，完整且詳細地將美國抽象畫藝術大師Jackson Pollock的生平譜在紙上。不僅是大家以為是「故事」的故事，在後面，作者甚至還做了Jackson的生平簡介及每一頁的Notes！此外，本書可說掛滿獎章：希伯特獎（Sibert Honor Book）紐約時報年度最佳選書、出版者周刊（Publishers Weekly）年度最佳選書等等。繪本帶你細細品味畫家的創作歷程，我們彷彿融入了畫家的心神，藝術家的眼睛與角度，體會他的心意，思緒的流動，對生活的參與與感觸。

◎現實藝術不難權衡，人文素養不難習得
◎抽象表現主義大佬，離經叛道大聲叫好

One late spring morning the American artist Jackson Pollock began work on the canvas that would ultimately come to be known as Number 1, 1950 (Lavender Mist).

Award-winning authors Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan use this moment as the departure point for a unique picture book about a great painter and the way in which he worked. Their lyrical text, drawn from Pollock's own comments and those made by members of his immediate circle, is perfectly complemented by vibrant watercolors by Robert Andrew Parker that honor his spirit of the artist without imitating his paintings.

A photographic reproduction of the finished painting, a short biography, a bibliography, and a detailed list of notes and sources that are fascinating reading in their own right make this an authoritative as well as beautiful book for readers of all ages.

Action Jackson is a Sibert Honor Book, a New York Times Best Book of the Year, and a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year.
