52 weeks, 52 works of art and a grandfather-grandson story: Mona's Eyes
Ten-year-old Mona is in danger of losing her sight. While doctors investigate the mystery of the disease, Mona's art-loving grandfather, Henry Vuillemin, has a completely different prescription for his only granddaughter: They will meet every Wednesday and visit the three largest museums in Paris (Louvre,
Orsay, Beaubourg) they will explore. Thus, according to Henry's plan, even if Mona succumbs to darkness one day, she will have a visual treasure hiding beauty and courage in the depths of her mind.
While grandfathers and grandchildren analyze and discuss the works of many artists who have left their mark on history, they will also learn about all the colors and issues of life such as disappointment, mourning, love, freedom, and being an individual from the perspective of art.
Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer, Francisco Goya, Frida Kahlo, William Turner, Gustave Courbet, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Gustave Klimt, Raphael, Camille Claudel, Marcel Duchamp, René Magritte, Pablo Picasso, Marina Abramovic and many more await them on this journey.
In this universal tale filled with powerful emotions, art historian Thomas Schlesser invites the reader to learn to see, while reminding us of the indispensable place of art in man's search for meaning.
“The book the whole world is dying to read.” – Le Figaro
“A tribute to beauty and wisdom.” – Le Parisien
