Annotations

"Children's artwork became revered as an expression of their imagination and uninhibited vision. Many modern artists, including Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Joan MirĂ³, Jean Dubuffet, and Wassily Kandinsky, collected children's artwork as objects of admiration and sources of inspiration (Fineberg 1997 and 2006). Exhibitions such as Art in The Life of the Child in St. Petersburg in 1908, and the Salon des Enfants, presented in 1909 in Paris and organizes by Henri Matisse, showed children's artwork."
