The first definitive illustrated biography of Isabel Rawsthorne, a key figure in mid 20th-century British art
See Inside
'Jacobi ‘reimagine[s] what an artist biography – notably one of a woman artist whose work is largely forgotten – can be … Jacobi treats Rawsthorne’s art with the intellectual seriousness of purpose with which it was conceived. She does not “reduce” Rawsthorne’s art making to self-reflexive illustrations of her life; rather, she addresses the two as richly intertwined'
