Last check: 2007-11-07) Although she was well known as a friend, model and "muse" of Picasso, it is often forgotten that Dora Maar herself was a successful artist. Dora Maar and her personality as a woman, both in publications about Picasso and in the few that are dedicated to her, assume an unusually great significance in art-history literature. It was precisely the simplicity of the photos that enabled Dora Maar to give the day-to-day and the ugly a magnificent monstrosity in which the beautiful and the horrible blend into one another. borghi.org /european/maar.html   (463 words)

Dora Maar - Photographer at the Dordky Gallery A Review by Donald Goddard 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. Maar enters into a world that we are already in--though it may be hidden to us--as Buñuel and Dali did by slicing into an eye at the beginning of their film La chien Andalou of 1928, and Georges Bataille (who was Maar's lover in 1933-34) did in his novel Histoire de l'oeil, also of 1928. In the way Maar illuminates her figures, they emerge out of a pool of light and shade, so there is no doubt they exist, and are still becoming. www.newyorkartworld.com /reviews/maar.html   (1023 words)
