The People's Painter: How Ben Shahn Fought for Justice with Art by Cynthia Levinson

4.0

The illustrations in this book are GORGEOUS! And the story was great too. However, I felt like the actual font and the text didn't meet the same level as the illustrations so it felt a little disjointed. It also didn't really feel like a children's picture book... but was great for me, an adult, to learn a little about an artist who's come in and out of my life without really realizing it - I had deeply studied Shahn's Saco and Vanzetti painting in history class but had never known Shahn's other work and history.
