Story about an older Belgian guy who's only life is art museums and making reproductions of the art. He mainly interacts with art. His interest in his across the street neighbor might be mostly artistic. He's creeped out by interactions with living people, so there's some funny interactions.

Stunningly drawn graphic novel about art and beauty. Ironically a bit like some artwork, not sure I quite 'got it' but I enjoyed spending time looking at its beautiful illustrations none the less.

3 stars because the artwork is stunning. The story itself went nowhere.

Minimalist panels, with bare colours, yet somehow evokes beauty. Is there beauty in being a two-dimensional lackadaisical human being?
This book has zero plot which is why I gave this book lost two stars. You can't help but feel sorry for the protagonist -- a loner who kills time visiting museums. He doesn't even comes across as an affable person. For all we know, deep inside, he could very well be a douchebag and a selfish asshole who would rather wank off to renaissance nudes than get a girlfriend.
You will either feel sympathy for Hubert or simply hate his guts; most likely the latter. This comic book brilliantly captures Hubert's character.
I read this in one sitting, in 20 minutes. This is the kind of book you'd much rather read at a store than buy. Yet, I went ahead and bought it because it smells good.

Its a short and quiet graphic novel with very few words. However, the artwork and illustrations are the driving force in the story. A beautiful and quick reading that I enjoyed.
