A review by charlottejones952
Cruising Through the Louvre by David Prudhomme
2.0
I am a huge fan of anything to do with art history and I thought a graphic novel on the subject would be interesting.
As it is written in a visual medium, I was impressed with how the author illustrated this book, really portraying the atmosphere of the museum perfectly. The focus was also on the people in the gallery rather than the artworks so it made a realistic peek into the way other people experience art.
However, overall I found there to be no point to the book. The life drawing aspects were interesting but the fact that there was no plot and the museum itself could have been any museum as there was no real focus on the art, I felt like I had to push myself to finish this one.
2 out of 5 stars!
