President of the French National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, posted on X that France had lost “an immense artist”.
She said: “Marjane Satrapi had turned her work into an act of freedom. With Persepolis, she had given a face and a voice to the Iranian revolution, proudly carrying the fight for women’s freedom and dignity.”
She created Woman, Life, Freedom, a collection of graphic stories about the protests in 2022, following the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the morality police for not wearing her hijab properly.
Satrapi told the BBC in 2024: “If you take the art and culture out from any society, this society falls down.”
