Claude Roger-Marx was a French writer, playwright, art critic, and historian, following in his father Roger Marx's footsteps. The British Museum holds drawings and engravings of illustrations by various artists for novels and books by our author, as well as illustrations that Roger-Marx collected, as his love of 20th-century art led him to amass an important collection, which was targeted, because Roger-Marx was Jewish, by the ERR, a Nazi Party organization dedicated to the appropriation of cultural property during World War 2.
