James Warhola est un artiste américain qui a illustré plus de deux douzaines de livres pour enfants depuis 1987. Avant cela, il a illustré des couvertures de livres de poche de science-fiction et de fantasy. Ses peintures sont présentées dans la collection permanente du musée Warhola à Medzilborce, en Slovaquie, un musée entièrement consacré à l'œuvre d'artistes de sa famille.
"When James Warhola was a little boy, his father had a junk business that turned their yard into a wonderful play zone that his mother didn't fully appreciate! But whenever James and his family drove to New York City to visit Uncle Andy [Warhol], they got to see how "junk" could become something truly amazing in an artist's hands."-- Provided by Amazon
What kind of crazy, windy weather do the townspeople predict for Christmas?
It all started with a little blue cat named Hester. Then along came Sam, and it was love at first sight -- and lots of little Sams! While the cats are perfectly happy stampeding through Uncle Andy's art studio and frolicking among his soup boxes, the humans know things have to change. So Uncle Andy devises a brilliant plan to make his cats famous -- and easier to find homes for. James Warhola's childhood memories of trips to New York City to visit his uncle, Andy Warhol, inspired this warm, funny story of the famous artist's house full of cats. Kids will pore over the illustrations trying to spot all the Sams, as well as some very clever mice.
Otec Jamesa Warholu, drobný obchodník so starým železom, rád vytváral z haraburdia zaujímavé kompozície. So svojimi deťmi chodieval do New Yorku navštíviť svojho brata Andyho. Všetci boli ohromení tým, ako sa z najobyčajnejších a každodenných vecí stávajú umelecké diela. Synovec Andyho Warhola si spomína na nezvyčajné návštevy u svojho slávneho strýka. Prezrádza, aké parochne Andy nosieval, že mal až dvadsaťpäť mačiek a všetky sa volali Sam, ale čo je najdôležitejšie, James sa delí o to, čo sa naučil od novátorského majstra. Táto kniha jednoduchým spôsobom vysvetľuje, v čom spočíva geniálnosť Andyho Warhola a čo sa skrýva za pojmom pop-art.
