A hilarious graphic novel skewering the art world and family expectations! Fabian, a Louvre security guard, loves his job and Mathilde. But when Mathilde introduces him to her eccentric family, the Benions, things get complicated. They've unearthed a painting by a 19th-century ancestor, a "cross-eyed mutt," and want Fabian's expert opinion: masterpiece or eyesore? What follows is a raucous satirical comedy exploring the meaning of art and who decides what's worthy of the Louvre. As Fabian navigates the Benions' quirky personalities and the machinations of the art world, he's drawn into a scheme that could jeopardize his job and his relationship. Will Fabian help the Benions get their ancestor's painting into the Louvre, or will he risk their wrath? A witty and insightful look at art, family, and the absurdity of it all!

First Printing; Hardcover. Etat : New. Illustrated by Etienne Davodeau (illustrateur). First English Edition. Louvre Collection Series; B&W Illustrations; 10.5 X 7.8 X 0.7 inches; 136 pages; Hard cover has grey spine with black lettering. NEW. Pages are clean and tight. This is the first English language edition. Illustrated with b/w cells. 'Fabian is supervisor at the Louvre. He loves his job. He also loves Mathilde. When it comes time, she presents him to her family in their vast country house and not without some apprehension, as the Benion clan is a bit special. There's her father, Louis, who heads since 1975 the family furniture company founded in 1947, and two brothers, Maxime and Joseph. They're not bad guys, just rather clumsy and with a decidedly unsubtle sense of humor. The fact that Fabian works in the Louvre is a welcome coincidence, since they just found in the attic a painting by an ancestor in the nineteenth century. It's a sorry representation of a cross-eyed mutt. What is the value? Ask the Benion. Is this an eyesore or a masterpiece? Fabian, pretty embarrassed, punts on the question. So for the Benion, case closed, if it ain't an eyesore then no doubt it has its place on the walls of the Louvre! Fabian is left hoping the whole delusion will just go away, until one day the two brothers show up at the Louvre and ask.'. N° de réf. du vendeur 12377
