"This book brings together thirteen distinguished critics and
scholars to explore children's art and its profound but
rarely documented influence on the evolution of modern art.
It shows that children's art and childhood have inspired
major works of art, served as central metaphors for artistic
spontaneity and honesty, and provided a window into the
fundamental human qualities explored by modern artists."
