'Never much lionized in the annals of mainstream Pakistani art, Esther Rahim was nevertheless a painter of no small significance. Also known as Esmet, she was the wife of J.A. Rahim the well-known civil servant, diplomat, politician and founding member of the Pakistan Peoples Party... A friend of both Amrita Sher-Gil and Jamini Roy, Esther found her own voice and vision only towards the end of her artistic life. The resulting body of work remains of undisputed value and exceptional maturity. This collection of essays hopes to introduce the work of this remarkable woman artist to the audience she was denied during her lifetime.' - extracted from text on the inside cover flap.
