Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. An expert has come to a large museum to evaluate its collection. He starts to descend into its basement, reaching absurdly deep levels full of bizarre departments and strange employees in what seems an increasingly futile attempt to visit every corner of the labyrinthine structure. It wants to be humorous, but aside from a section about the "Mona Lisa" smile, it is simply too nonsensical for me. Bah! ( ) "Here are the most intelligent comics the world has to offer". So it says in the flyleaf. Okay. . . . This is a short black and white graphic novel that takes place in some alternate world. The Expert - Eudeus Volumer - must catalog everything in a museum with it's original name long forgotten, consigned to anagrams of paintings and rooms and names. Everything is now below-ground. There are many, many, many sub-basements filled with everything imaginable. The first art work, the molds of every statue every made, frames that exist for frame's sakes, a flood basement with the tips of the statues showing above the water. Even a classroom where guards are taught the proper method of saying "tss tss don't touch the painting" (a phrase I've heard myself as a kid at the museum!) and a sub-basement dedicated to the act of unrestoring the restored statues and restoring them in a way that shows they are actually restored but can be unrestored again when fashions in restoration change. . . . I finally read the back cover. "Stinging irony to the pompousness of art history". Ah, I get it. But I didn't love it. Un nouvel album dans la collection dédiée au Musée du Louvre. Les Editions Futuropolis demande à chaque auteur de faire découvrir le Louvres par la bande dessinée. Marc-Antoine Mathieu s'est emparé du sujet avec son intelligence habituel, son imagination débordante digne de l'Oulipo, des démarches surréalistes, son goût pour les jeux de mots, les mises en abîme, les réflexions (au sens propre comme au figuré) sur l'art. Eudes Le Volumeur, expert de son état, est appelé au musée du Révolu pour en faire l'inventaire et expertiser le fond. En suivant cet expert et son assistant nous allons parcourir les sous-sols labyrinthiques du musée du Révolu, pour découvrir l'atelier des moules, l'atelier de restauration, les sous-sols techniques, le département des copies, les archives... à chaque fois poussé à l'absurde... Encore un album génial de Marc-Antoine Mathieu qui sous un aspect très ludique, amusant et brillant nous amène à réfléchir sur quelques questions relatives à l'art. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

The next volume in the striking collection in co-publication with the Louvre museum. An art assessor must evaluate the vast collections of the Louvre in an alternate Kafkaesque world where all is warehoused in an endless ever deepening succession of basement levels. Mathieu, an artist who marries Escher with Kafka, brings stinging irony to the pompousness of art history. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
