Intended for children ages 6 to 12, this book is a brief history of art in the form of fun
and educational surveys within the studios of the leading artists of the late nineteenth
century and the twentieth century.
Damian Elwes's research and reconstruction of these workshops is presented to the
young audience as a series of investigations carried out by the character of Detective Damian who we follow throughout the book.
Accompanying each of the studios reproduced by Damian Elwes, there will be an

of clues to engage the reader in an active experience.
