"Rico Lebrun was always known as a remarkable draftsman. In addition to the powerful line of his drawings there is also a deep social message. His drawings are expressions of sympathy for the poor, the outcast and social injustice. His Crucifixion series was prompted by the constantly repeated history of man's blindness and inhumanity. This theme was also evident in his War and Concentration Camp Series of drawings. His life was devoted to accurately mapping the unknown regions of the human form and heart."

Rico Lebrun was born in Italy in 1900, came to the New York in 1924 until 1938 when he moved to California. His work influenced many of the most important 20th century Californian artists.
