"Why does the eye see more clearly in dreams
than the imagination when we are awake?"
Leonardo da Vinci

When you want to design or paint a dinosaur, do you start with the jaws of the Tyrannosaurus, the armor of the Stegosaurus, or the tail of the Brontosaurus? It's not a bad idea, but what if a pioneering artist like Frida Kahlo, Andy Warhol, Alma Thomas, or Harrison Begay had painted a dinosaur?
Amy and Greg Newbold, wanting to answer this very question, open a door to the magical world of art. The dancing dinosaurs of Degga don't look at all like the dinosaurs that smell the flowers in Mary Cassatt's garden or the one that passes through the bamboo ink of Baishi or, of course, the one that poses like Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, but they are all dinosaurs.
The variety of different art styles presented in this book is as diverse as the different types of dinosaurs. And then you will never look at art - or dinosaurs - in the same way again.
