Contrapposto: Covering Charlie
One week into the New Year, Paris underwent three days of fear and despair. We have seen the reaction of millions of French citizens, including from our Penn community, as well as others in New York, Beirut, Sydney, and Berlin. But the most interesting response came from the victims themselves, particularly the weekly satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. In less than a week cartoonist Rénald ‘Luz’ Luzier found the inspiration for a cover that would mourn the lost lives of the attacks and show that hope and courage are not lost.
