Philippe Dupuy is known for his work as a European comics artist. He is
less known, however, for his dabblings in history of art. He was taught
by the famous art critic Pierre Cabanne, and has been passionate about
the subject ever since. “Une histoire de l’art” tells us more about
Dupuy’s relationship with works of art and their artists. Aside from
that, this subjective glimpse of his thoughts, memories and emotions is
also quite simply a brilliant exercise in style. Due to originally being
intended for online reading, this work was illustrated lengthways. Now
published as part of the Air Libre collection in a limited print run,
the work has taken the form of a huge fold out book of over 23 meters
recto verso for a playful promenade through all the twists and turns of
art history!
