Is dat kunst sidepicll
The mini monsters love to go to a museum and so do we, but sometimes they find the old masters a bit boring. But today we came across this art book at Donner (our favorite bookstore) and it is anything but boring. What a funny and cool book this is, the monsters immediately love it!
 
The book is written by the Belgian journalist/author Thijs Demeulemeester and as far as we know this is his first children's book. It is an instant hit here, because the monsters find it hilarious. We all think the funny artwork by Aart-Jan Venema, a Dutch illustrator from The Haguear, is so cool. Be sure to check out his website!

Street art by American artist Keith Haring.

Complex Pile - a bouncy castle made of turds by Paul McCarthy

Pac Man: Street art by French Artist Invader.

Comedian: an artwork by Maurizio Cattelan.

Above here you see - in random order - 4 of the monsters' favorite artworks. The giant shark in a plastic bag by Damian Hirst also scores high! But there are many more beautiful, funny, crazy, dirty and creepy art works in the book and it is not even finished yet.

What we like best is to read the thoughts of the artist behind the art work and we also like also the QR codes that take you to the real art. A fantastic cool book that we warmly recommend, for young and older!

3+ radiant shining stars for Is DAT kunst? (Is THAT art?), from our young monsters and their readers!
