Artist’s Name: Dora Maar
Title: untitled (hand in shell)
Date: 1934
In 1927, Dora Maar began studying painting in Paris, then quickly switched to photography at the École de Photographie de la Ville de Paris. In the following years, while she was in her 20s, she became prominent among the Surrealists (André Breton, Man Ray, Paul Eluard, and others) and produced a remarkable body of work that included photo montages, portraits, nudes, landscapes, fashion and advertising photography, and street scenes in Paris, London, and Barcelona. She took some pictures of Pablo Picasso, as he did of her, early in their relationship, which lasted from 1936 into 1946, including the famous series of the great master at work on Guernicain 1937, then gave up photography entirely for painting, at least partly because Picasso felt the former to be an inferior, or perhaps non-existent, art medium. After her emotional breakdown in 1945, and during the long reclusion that covered the last forty years of her life, until her death in 1997, Maar continued to write poetry and to paint, including a group of searing near-abstract landscapes in southern France, and even, in the 1980s, to revisit her photographic work.
