Description
Author and Illustrator Zebedee Helm takes more than a dozen of the world's major art movements and casts his delightful take on each through the wit of his brilliant characters Kit, the Montana cowboy and his sausage dog, Willy. Our intrepid heroes guide children through the maze of these art movements, each prompting a pithy summary and some 'important advice.' You'll find out for instance that "Cubism was invented by artists who wanted to do lots of pictures but were short of paper. " Parents will laugh and children will learn as they take a virtual tour together through rooms in a museum representing Impressionism, Futurism, Abstract Art, Pop and Performance art and nine other riotous movements. Zebedee Helms is a UK based illustrator and cartoonist whose credits include The Telegraph, The Times, The Economist, House and Garden and World of Interiors.

About the Author
Zebedee Helm is a UK based illustrator and cartoonist whose credits include The Telegraph, The Times, The Economist, House and Garden and World of Interiors. From 2009 to 2011 he was the weekly cartoonist for The Lady magazine, illustrating Rachel Johnson's editorial. He wrote and illustrated a guide to dogs, 'Kit and Willy's guide to the Dogs of the World' which was published in 2011 (loved by children, frowned at by dog experts and vets). He was included as one of the chosen artists to be shown at the 50 years of Private Eye exhibition at the V&A in London's South Kensington. In September 2011 the wizard Derren Brown got in touch with Helm (sadly using email, not telepathy) and asked him to animate various sequences for his channel 4 television show. There followed a BAFTA nomination, but thankfully not the prize itself which would've messed up the awards section on this website.
