"Created to accompany an exhibition on children's drawings, When We Were Young features a gallery of drawings by both famous artists such as Homer, Van Gogh, Picasso, Miro and Klee when they were children and by extraordinary "ordinary" children. An annotated chronology, with synopses and quotations from hundreds of sources, offers a comprehensive survey of the literature and history of child art from the thirteenth century to the present."--Jacket.
