This week, I have an interview with the author and illustrtor behind a new graphic novel that tackles the story of Maria Lani who convinced over 50 prominent artists to make her portrait. Dozens of artists including Matisse, Derain, and Chagall created portraits of Lani so they could be used in a movie that was never actually produced. When Lani and the collection disappeared, many were left to wonder if the whole thing was an elaborate con to steal masterpieces from Paris's greatest modern artists.
Jonathan Lackman and Zachary J. Pinson created a stunning book telling this story through thousands of hand drawn panels. They were kind enough to share their insights into the history and the process of producing the book. For more information, check the links below:

And of course, you can buy the book from Fantagraphics. It will be available at all major book sellers starting July 22.
