Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. The story of Surrealist photographer and artist Dora Marr's life and her turbulent seven-year affair with Pablo Picasso is told and illustrated in this personal collection of photos, paintings, and other objects collected throughout their life together. In 1936 Maar was a successful Surrealist photographer, unconventional and sexually liberated. Picasso arranged for an introduction and soon she was his lover, his muse, and the subject of some of the greatest paintings of our century. At the height of the affair, Maar photographed the life and friends she shared with Picasso, among them Paul and Nusch Eluard, Jean Cocteau, Andre Breton and his wife Jacqueline Lamba, and Jacques Lacan. Maar's liaison with Picasso was turbulent and impassioned, ending in 1943. The love story between these two exceptionally talented individuals unfolds through Maar's striking photographs of Picasso and their brilliant circle of friends, artists and writers; in his famous weeping woman portraits of her; and in Mary Ann Caw's revealing text. The model for scores of portraits by Picasso and others in museums and private collections all over the world, Dora Maar subsequently became a reclusive figure until her death in 1997 when her estate revealed a treasure trove of her photographs and paintings along with little known paintings and drawings by Picasso and objects collected by her throughout their life together. Drawing on this poignant collection of memorabilia, the book is an enthralling revelation not only of one of the century's great love affairs, involving the century's greatest artist, but of the lives of a wholly exceptional circle of friends, especially during the dramatic events of the 1930s and the war years. A very nice clean tight copy.

Seller's Description:
VG / VG. Black cloth over boards. BW pictorial dj. with red and yellow lettering. 224 pp. Profusely illustrated in bw and color. Often viewed merely as Picasso's tragic muse, Dora Maar produced a stunning array of work in her own right. This book details Maar's life and features her photography, poetry, and painting. "Dora Maar was a successful young photographer who produced some disturbingly powerful Surrealist images as well as reportage, portraits, and fashion photography. Dora Maar was also Picasso's lover and muse for seven years. In that time she photographed him at work and play. In the studio and on the beach, alone and with friends such as Man Ray, Andre Breton, Jacqueline Lamba, and Paul Eluard." "Maar and Picasso's stormy relationship reached a painful end in 1943. Maar was supported through the traumatic aftermath by her friend Jacques Lacan and went on to outlive Picasso by a quarter of a century. Almost nothing was known of her in those years, for she lived in religious seclusion, painting and writing poetry behind a veil of fiercely guarded privacy. "After Picasso, only God, " she once said. As a result, her story acquired an almost mythic tone. She was seen as the tragic muse, a woman forever shattered by Picasso, the cruel genius. Mary Ann Caws tells a different story. This book places Maar's time with Picasso within the scope of a life of ninety years." "Between these pages you will view in its entirely a treasure trove of Maar's own photographs and paintings, along with little-known paintings and drawings by Picasso and objects collected by her throughout their life together. Much of the illustrative material was unknown before Maar's death and, consequently, sheds new light on both her and Picasso's work and life."--Jacket.
