Marjane Satrapi, who passed away yesterday at age 56, was a brilliant artist, author, and director. Her autobiographical comic book series “Persepolis” depicted her life growing up in Iran and then Austria during and following the Islamic Revolution. It was made into a film, which Satrapi co-directed. She was the first woman nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Often challenged or banned, her graphic novel is recognized as one of the most important literary works of the 21st century.
