Created by renowned art historian David Hockney and author Martin Gayford, this richly illustrated introduction to art explores how people have used pictures to tell stories, record history, express ideas, and see the world in new ways. Along the way, readers encounter ancient murals, Renaissance masterpieces, photography, comic books, film, and computer-generated imagery, discovering how artists across cultures and centuries have changed the way we look at life. Accessible, engaging, and filled with fascinating details, this unique book encourages children to become careful observers and curious thinkers. Side-by-side comparisons, surprising connections, and vivid illustrations reveal that every picture has a story to tell. Perfect for budding artists, museum lovers, teachers, and families, A History of Pictures for Children is an inspiring introduction to art, creativity, and visual storytelling that will spark curiosity long after the final page. “A brilliant, knockout collaboration―one that will continue to excite, provoke, and engage kids and their grown-ups.” ― Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Review: Terrific art history for all ages - I really enjoyed the insightful comments of the writers. A great overview with enough juicy tidbits to keep any age interested and curious. The chapter on marks is the perfect starting place for a family art project or game. Plenty of opportunities for discussion beyond the text and just an all around fun read. Plus the pictures of the narrators and pets makes a sort of Where's Waldo game for the youngest set. Thanks David Hockney we love your pictures. Review: Terrific to give, to read, to share aloud - This is a treasure, especially if you can share it aloud and then talk about what's just been read. I'm loving it even before I give it to my grandaughter for her birthday. It helps those of us who do not think of ourselves as artists to begin to change the exclusion and open how we "see" and therefore how we can talk about it with others, especially the children in our lives, who have not yet learned they are not artists. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #366,505 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #164 in Children's Sculpture Books (Books) #172 in Children's Art History #256 in Children's Art Techniques | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 166 Reviews | ## Images ![David Hockney's A History of Pictures for Children: From Cave Paintings to Computer Drawings - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ICWWOwGGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific art history for all ages *by E***N on February 20, 2019* I really enjoyed the insightful comments of the writers.

I'm loving it even before I give it to my grandaughter for her birthday. It helps those of us who do not think of ourselves as artists to begin to change the exclusion and open how we "see" and therefore how we can talk about it with others, especially the children in our lives, who have not yet learned they are not artists. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great review of Art History *by J***7 on December 17, 2018* I got this for my daughter, who is a fifth grade teacher, for her classroom. However, I loved reading it myself! It is very informative without being over the top information. It gave interesting facts for those of us who enjoy art but don't spend hours gazing at a painting! I would recommend it for older children as well as adults. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/90046402-david-hockneys-a-history-of-pictures-for-children-from-cave](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/90046402-david-hockneys-a-history-of-pictures-for-children-from-cave) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
