Picasso

"Dora Maar, born Henriette Markovitch in 1907, and famous for her relationship with Picasso, was a talented artist in her own right. She initially studied painting, but soon found a passion and gift for photography, and became a prominent member of the Surrealist movement." "This exhibition catalogue traces the relationship between the two artists - the painter and the photographer - from the time of their first meeting in autumn 1935 through 1945. While the early years were decisive for Picasso and Maar, the relationship continued to inspire both artists into the mid 1940s."--BOOK JACKET.
