Looted Beauty

Looted Beauty : A Coloring Book of Lost Art

Artists are invited to color line-drawn interpretations of 30 masterpieces seized or destroyed by the Nazis during WWII. Combining the artistic skills of acclaimed artist and graphic novelist Karl Stevens with the art crime expertise of best-selling author Anthony M. Amore, the collection includes short stories about the lives of the artists, the people who owned the paintings, and how and where each piece disappeared. Read about and interact with unforgettable works of art by luminaries such as Paul Klee, Claude Monet, and Franz Marc, considered the father of German Impressionism. In the years since the war ended, dedicated professionals have spent innumerable hours trying to locate and return the art to its rightful owners. The authors believe that by bringing the paintings' stories to light, they can make a small contribution toward reminding the world of the problem of looting and the spoils of war.
