Monuments Woman Rose Valland, one of the greatest heroines of the arts, risked her life during World War II working under the watchful eyes of the Nazis. Her remarkable story is told in her memoir Le front de l'art: Défense des collections françaises 1939–1945, a book that sheds light on one of the darkest periods in human history. The Art Front is the first-ever English translation of Valland’s own words and brings her courageous deeds to readers worldwide.
Translated by Rose Valland expert and art historian Ophélie Jouan, The Art Front will feature an introduction by Foundation founder and chairman, Robert M. Edsel, also #1 NYT bestselling author and world-leading expert on the Monuments Men and Women, and will include almost one hundred images, bringing a new visual element to the heroism of this warrior of the arts.
