Rose Valland was curator of the Jeu de Paume during the Occupation. She fought to recover the works looted by the Nazis.
Valland's story has been made into a comic strip, a play and a biography. The new Rose Valland terrace is also located at the precise location where 600 paintings, including some by Picasso, Chagall and Otto Dix, were destroyed. It is estimated that nearly 100,000 works have been stolen, and are located in Germany and Austria, particularly in old salt mines, writes Philippe Coste. In 2014, a film by George Clooney put these commitments and commitments in the guise of a “safeguarding the monuments of art,” Coste says. The film was released in France and the U.S. on March 31. It will be released in the UK and Australia on April 12. The UK version of the film will be available in UK cinemas on March 30. The U.K. version will be made available on April 10.
