An incredibly beautiful graphic novel by a precociously brilliant young Belgian author. The start of a great career.

Hubert is a solitary man who shapes his life by going to museums. He talks to few people and only about museums and art. When his neighbour downstairs, a lonely woman, tries to seduce him, he doesn’t understand. He takes photos of the pictures he likes - usually of beautiful women - and paints copies of the paintings at home. There is only one real woman who fascinates him; she lives in the opposite building and he can see her balcony from his window. ;;One of the most beautiful graphic novels Jonathan Cape has ever published, Hubert marks the beginning of a great career.
