Dora Maar

restricted

After looking through all the photographers and their photographs I realised that they all have one thing in common that is surliest theme for their work. I decided to find other people that relates to this theme I came across Dora Maar who was known to be Picasso muse. She was a sing star in the surrealist field however, Picasso’s convinced her to give up photography for painting as he believes photography is inferior to painting.

Pere Ubu was one of her iconic work before she left photography. This photograph was taken in Paris in 1936. The print was a gelatine silver print. I found the photograph strange and alien like, but it is very different from other photographs I have seen. Dora Maar was able to capture the photograph to make it seems to have some human traits.
