Description
An entertaining satire of nudity in the Louvre, Le Grand Incident is a deeply serious, award-winning graphic novel examining the history of the female body in art and our society.
When the greatest museum in the world gave the illustrator Zelba free reign to make a graphic novel about great art, she knew exactly what she would do: address a double standard. She'd seen the Louvre's halls filled with sexualized female bodies, ogled at by crowds and sometimes even groped, and wanted to turn the tables. What if, she dreamed, those naked bodies refused to be the objects of our gaze? What if the female nudes in the Louvre went on strike?
The result, a co-edition with Editions Louvre, is a critique of great artists and great museums. Awarded the prestigious Prix Sceneario and the Prix Artemisia in France, the pages are filled with unforgettable characters, such as a heroic cleaner who can speak to statues and a museum director who secretly offloads his work onto his sister. Featuring well-known masterpieces, this entertaining romp displays one of the world's greatest art collections in a whole new light.
