"Color，color，color!"are the words of artist Eric Carle．
Eric is like the king in the world of children's books．He has written over 70children's books．His most famous book，The Very Hungry Caterpillar，is common on children's bookshelves all over the world．What most people don't know is that Eric also makes art for adults，which is called"ArtArt"．People didn't know about it，because he didn't show it to the public until he was 84years old!
Like Eric's children's books，his"ArtArt"is full of bright and clear color．He says that he loves color so much because he missed it during the war in Germany．Eric was born in New York in 1929，but moved to Germany with his family when he was 6．When he was 10，World War II began．He noticed that all the houses and buildings in his town were painted gray，brown or dark green．It was a sad time，and it seemed like there was no color anywhere．
At the end of the war，"when color came back"，Eric explains，"I just loved it so much．I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more color．Color is a very important part of my work．"
That's true．Eric paints bright colors on paper，cuts out shapes，and then glues them onto another piece of paper．This method is called collage．In fact，it is what led Eric to his"ArtArt"．
Eric's"ArtArt"includes large collages as well as paintings，photographs and even costumes．In all these works，he uses all kinds of colors-everything from purple to light green to orange．Now that's a lot of color!
