内容简介 Using the split-page format, the reader must work through the exhibition, room by room, painting by painting. Each work in the anniversary exhibition contains details taken from two, three, four or five pictures in the gallery's permanent collection of modern art masterpieces. The details could be anything - a dog's head, a totem pole or a staring eye, for example. By carefully comparing each painting in the exhibition with photographs of the works in the permanent collection, readers must match each detail to the original work from which it is taken. If their powers of deduction are up to scratch, they will be able to work out who poainted each picture in time for new information panels to be made, as well as uncover the rogue painting so that it can be removed before the exhibition opens.
专业书评 From School Library Journal Grade 4 Up--This is an ambitious and unusual mixture of mystery and art appreciation in a comic-book format. There is a lot of information included from a visual and verbal perspective. The premise is that a rival is trying to sabotage the opening of an exhibition and the curator, Molly Adams, needs help from readers to identify the works of the artists since the information panels are missing and the hard drive on her computer with the data has been stolen. The modern paintings contain details from a selection of masterworks. Examining the split pages, readers must determine which fictitious artist did the paintings and which details were incorporated. For those who like to solve puzzles and who have a keen eye, this is a humdinger. As Molly herself says, every painting must be studied from top to bottom. Fortunately, the answers are appended. There is also a glossary of art terms and biographical information on the 32 famous artists, who range from Andy Warhol to Claude Monet. This offbeat approach to introducing great artists and their works may intrigue older readers but may also frustrate others since the details are sometimes very subtle. A fine addition for large collections.
