Cruising Through the Louvre by David Prudhomme, is the latest release in the Louvre editions published in English by NBM Comics Lit.
The author is Cruising Through the Louvre searching for his wife who has gone home. Commenting that he feels as if he were in a giant comic book, he narrates through phone conversations and internal voice, observing how people interact with the artwork — from being a part of it to mimicking the compositions.
To further integrate people with artwork, David has drawn both in the same style with colored pencils, which enables him to vary textures, color intensity, and level of detail. I have to admit, I like colored pencils for that reason, and this is a wonderful example of the medium.
Cruising through the Louvre is a humorous look at how people view and respond to great works of art, making it a great work itself.
