Reviews
The Guardian
Craig Taylor
"Mathieu has a knack for caricature, but it's the ideas behind the black and white panels that make it successful. Can anyone become an expert and truly assess what defines art? In one particularly effective set of panels, a withered caretaker shows all the different versions of the Mona Lisa, each one painted with a nearly imperceptible difference in the smile. Mixing jokes with profound meditations on art, Mathieu will make any new visitor to the Louvre curious about its mysteries."
