Albin Michel), Luz, 53 ans, retrace l’histoire vraie d’un tableau peint en 1919 par l’expressionniste allemand Otto Mueller (1874-1930), spolié à un collectionneur juif par les nazis avant d’être restitué après-guerre à ses descendants.Il fait de ce tableau le personnage principal de l’album devant lequel se déploient les affres de la création artistique, les persécutions antisémites et l’offensive du régime nazi contre ce qu’il considérait comme “l’art dégénéré”.”Je voulais raconter l’histoire d’un tableau qui a vu des histoires tragiques, notamment la montée de l’extrême droite”, a-t-il déclaré. “Je voulais faire un bouquin d’Histoire et j’ai fait un bouquin d’actualité”.Luz a échappé à l’attentat du 7 janvier 2015 qui a décimé la rédaction de Charlie Hebdo parce qu’il était en retard. Il a raconté le traumatisme provoqué par cette attaque dans “Catharsis” (Ed. Futuropolis).”On ne va laisser ce monde nous engloutir”, a-t-il encore déclaré.Mercredi, le grand prix du festival a été décerné à la Française Anouk Ricard, dessinatrice de l’absurde, pour l’ensemble de son oeuvre décalée.Le festival d’Angoulême, plus grand rendez-vous international de la BD, s’achève dimanche.
