Poised, beautiful and dramatically unconventional, Dora Maar already had a reputation as an accomplished photographer who produced disturbingly powerful Surrealist images alongside more conventional portraits, reportage and fashion shots. She was to become Picasso's lover and muse for seven years. In that time she photographed him at work and at ease, alone and with friends. In 1937 she recorded step-by-step the painting of Guernica, Picasso's searing protest against the Spanish Civil War. Dora's own features appear in that painting and in many others of Picasso's from those years, as well as in his drawings and sketches - many shown in this book. Mary Ann Caws places Dora's time with Picasso as one dramatic episode in a productive and prolific life of ninety years. It talks not about a myth, but about a charismatic, deeply intelligent woman and artist whose recognition is long overdue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41835502534730,"sku":"2085n","price":13.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/Book-Express-No-Image-Main_c950ec8b-d461-40f3-a5d4-5053d4bcb386.png?v=1764476142","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/dora-maar-with-without-picasso-by-mary-ann-caws-2085n","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
