"The art of Jeanne Masoero is instantly recognisable. For this, first full survey of her work, Sacha Craddock shows how, after her formative years spent in Italy and then London, where she was a graduate of the Slade, Jeanne Masoero has followed a long path of searching technical and spiritual development with an unshakable individuality." Further critical essays by Guy Brett and Sarah Kent deal with Jeanne Masoero's art in the context of contemporary currents of thought. Edward Rutherford's biographical essay includes an account of her family's links to the Italian partisans and her perilous wartime journey to Britain.
