Former Charlie Hebdo cartoonist, Rénald Luzier AKA “Luz”, was awarded the prize for Best Graphic Novel at this year’s Angoulême International Comics Festival. Luz’ graphic novel Deux Filles Nues (Two Naked Girls) depicts the true story of a looted Otto Mueller painting by German painter by Nazis.
According to Wikipedia the Nazis seized 357 pieces of Muellers’ art from German museums and Jewish collectors. The piece at the center of Luz’ novel was returned to Mueller’s descendants after WWII.
