The paintings, primarily portraits and groups of women, bare an unmistakable resemblance to Satrapi's distinctive drawing style, will be on view January 30-March 23, thereby overlapping with the French release of her latest directorial effort, "The Gang of the Jotas," a live-action crime comedy that opens at cinemas throughout France on February 6.
