Monuments Men and Women Foundation I Support I The Art Front

Rose Valland's THE ART FRONT

Monuments Woman Rose Valland described her wartime experience working under the watchful eyes of the Nazis during their four-year occupation of Paris in her memoir Le front de l’art: Défense des collections françaises 1939-1945 (1961). The English-speaking world has never had an opportunity to read Rose Valland's remarkable story, in her own words, until now.

The Monuments Men and Women Foundation will publish The Art Front: Defense of French Collections 1939-1945 in Fall 2024. Translated by Ophélie Jouan, Rose Valland expert and art historian, and with an introduction by Foundation founder and chairman, Robert M. Edsel, the world-leading expert on the Monuments Men and Women, this beautifully bound hard-cover book will include almost one-hundred images, sure to delight art lovers as well as scholars, students, and veterans.

Please join us in sharing this heroic woman’s courage to a just cause with the largest audience possible. With a donation of just $25, your support will be etched into history, with your name printed inside the published book in the acknowledgements section!

This book's first-time translation into English unlocks Rose Valland's own words to readers worldwide and underscores the Foundation's mission to honor these heroes' legacy.
