Description: Covered in Color is a vibrantly illustrated picture book biography about visionary artist Christo encouraging creativity perseverance and appreciating the beauty all around us. Christo (1935 2020) and Jeanne - Claude (1935 2009) were renowned for their large - scale ambitious art installations that wrapped landmarks and swaths of land in fabric including Berlin's Wrapped Reichstag Paris's The Pont Neuf Wrapped and concluding with New York City's The Gates in Central Park. This lively biography from Emmy Award winning journalist Elisa Boxer and illustrator Susanna Chapman chronicles Christo's humble childhood in Soviet - controlled Bulgaria under a regime that suppressed individuality and creativity to his international fame as a bold (and controversial) innovator in the art world. Christo discovered an early love of art and found a way to make a living out of his passion by wrapping bottles cans stacks of magazines and even an air conditioner. When he met his wife Jeanne - Claude they moved to New York City as undocumented immigrants and became equal partners in both life and work he the artist and she the dealmaker. Together Christo and Jeanne - Claude made elaborate visually stunning installations that transformed public spaces around the world all free to the public. Christo never explained why he felt compelled to wrap things in fabric rather his work celebrated individual interpretation and the simple joy of seeing something familiar in a new way. And though each work was temporary their awe - inspiring designs uniting nature with the manmade stayed with viewers long afterward. Covered in Color inspires readers to appreciate the beauty around us however fleeting and to push the boundaries of possibility.
