Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anna Green's timely and original book demonstrates that paintings of childhood and adolescence produced in France from 1848 to 1886 are critical for understanding modernity. Manet and the Impressionists figure prominently, but more traditional and also lesser-known painters of children provide crucial context for understanding the avant garde. Green's interdisciplinary approach ensures that her book will be of interest not only to art historians but to all those concerned with the cultural and social history of childhood.
