뉴욕 시내에서 친구인 Art를 만나기로 약속했지만 그곳에 친구는 없었습니다. 지나가는 부인에게 물었죠. "Have you seen Art?"(혹시 아트를 본 적이 없으세요?) 하지만 부인은 친구이름 Art를 미술로 알아들었습니다. 그리고는 MoMA?하고 반문하고는 뉴욕현대미술관 위치를 가르쳐 줬죠. MoMA는The Museum of Modern Art의 약자이지요. MoMA가 뭔지 몰랐기 때문에 부인이 가르쳐준 주소로 가보니 그곳에는 미술관이 있었습니다. 미술관 안으로 친구를 찾으러 들어가서 다양한 현대 미술을 감상하게 됩니다. 미술작품 앞에서 "Have you seen Art?"하고 물을 때 마다 관객들이 생각하는 진정한 미술작품을 소개하� 식으로 미술관 안에서 전시 중인 다양한 미술작품들을 하나하나 보여줍니다.

From the Publisher
It all started when I told my friend Art I would meet him on the corner of Fifth and Fifty-Third. I didn't see him. So I asked a lady walking up the avenue, "Have you seen Art?" "MoMA?" asked the lady. "Just down Fifty-Third Street here." When this address turns out to be the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, confusion and hilarity ensue. As the narrator continues looking for Art inside MoMA, he views the best pieces of modern art.
Publishers Weekly
It all started when I told my friend Art I would meet him on the corner of Fifth and Fifty-Third," says the narrator of this homage to the redesigned Museum of Modern Art. The boy naively asks pedestrians if they have seen his friend Art, and when everyone quizzically replies, "MoMA?," he decides this "must be a secret code word." He follows their directions into a glass-and-concrete building, where he's directed through the galleries by patrons with varying definitions of "Art." Along the way, readers glimpse actual MoMA highlights, reproduced in miniature on the narrow, horizontally oriented pages by Scieszka and Smith (most recently paired for Science Verse). The boy eyeballs Van Gogh's Starry Night, then goes on a whirlwind non-chronological tour from Magritte and Dali to Klee and Calder, from Meret Oppenheim's fur teacup to Dorothea Lange's photograph Migrant Mother; he even sits on a Verner Panton chair ("Ahem. No sitting on art," says a museum guard). The narrator-a budding critic with a squiggle of hair and dots for eyes-complains that the iconic objects are "Not exactly the Art I was looking for." But by the end, his eyes look like saucers and he wears a dizzy, dazzled grin. The book design ranges from honey-toned cosmetic-counter hues to elegant grays to collage cacophony, suggesting the many moods inspired by such an overwhelming selection. The Art joke wears a bit thin, but MoMA admirers and The Stinky Cheese Man fans get a package deal.
Children's Literature
"It all started when I told my friend Art I would meet him on the corner of Fifth and Fifty-third . . . I didn't see him. So I asked a lady walking up the avenue, 'Have you seen Art?'" From this simple dilemma, Scieszka and Smith take the reader on a humorous, enlightening and delightful tour of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. Marvelously inventive characters point the way for the boy in search of his friend, but instead of Art, the boy finds color and emotion (Munch), a lot of red in one painting (Matisse), ants attacking a gold watch in another (Dali), composition and atmosphere (Hopper), and art that is puzzling playful, provocative and powerful. Younger children may actually learn what some of these words mean by looking at the art and the expressions of both the boy and his "guides." At the end, after the boy finally connects with the Art he had been seeking all along, the MoMA art is identified by title, artist and a miniature reproduction. This captivating introduction to Art and MoMA is both silly and serious. It could be used with a wide range of ages or just as an excellent book to read in preparation for a museum trip to New York. 2005, Viking
School Library Journal
The collection at the recently re-opened Museum of Modern Art in New York City forms the framework for this cheeky foray into contemporary art appreciation. While trying to find his friend in Manhattan, a boy asks a passerby, "Have you seen Art?" and sets off a chain of events that propels him through the museum on an unexpected journey of artistic discovery. Once inside, every variation of his "where is Art?" request compels helpful museum-goers to respond in a more esoteric fashion as each visitor briefly introduces the works of his or her favorite contemporary artist to the narrator. After a thorough, eye-opening tour, the boy finds himself back where he started. But now when he is asked, "Did you find art?" he resoundingly replies, "YES!" And, on the final page, he does; Art is waiting for him outside the museum doors. The unusually long and narrow shape of the book and the stylized characters echo the modern-art theme while the muted background tones are an effective foil for the well-reproduced if sometimes diminutive artwork. The hip, first-person narrative is deliberately repetitive but becomes somewhat tiresome as the book's length appears to be determined more by providing a broad overview of the museum's holdings than by a compelling plot. Pair this with Anthony Browne's The Shape Game (Farrar, 2003) before a museum visit or as part of an art appreciation unit. For anyone planning a trip to MoMA with a youngster, this is a provocative read.
Kirkus Reviews
A child goes to the Museum of Modern Art looking for his friend Art, but finds lots of art instead. Compared to the zany antics of its predecessors, this offering is positively restrained. Once the appropriately minimalist collage-and-scribble child enters MoMA, an array of artsy types guides him past works by Van Gogh, Matisse, Dali, Warhol and Monet, among others, offering such helpful commentary as, "Isn't it just everything?" and, "Great atmosphere." Background, characters and typeface presented almost exclusively in a washed-out beige-and-taupe palette, cause the reproduced art to leap off the page. The unusual shape (twice as long as it is high, unopened) adds to a sense of infinitely recessing galleries as our hero vainly searches for Art. When, at last, he finds him, he leaves MoMA with a sense of art-and so will readers, although they may not quite know it. While this effort lacks the clarity of presentation of such recent works as Quentin Blake's Tell Me a Picture (2003) and Anthony Browne's The Shape Game (2003), its enigmatic treatment suits its modernist subject and teases readers with possibilities.
