Article

Henriette Theodora Markovitch (22 November 1907 – 16 July 1997), known as Dora Maar, was a French photographer and painter. Maar was both a pioneering Surrealist artist and an antifascist activist. From 1935 to 1943, Maar was in a relationship with Pablo Picasso, and was depicted in a number of paintings, including his Portrait of Dora Maar and Dora Maar au Chat.

Her work ranged from commercial assignments in fashion and advertising to the documentation of social and economic struggles during the Depression. Maar was one of the few photographers to be included in exhibitions of Surrealist work in the 1930s in Paris, New York and London, alongside Man Ray and Salvador Dalí. Her photographs explored psychology, dreams, and inner states.
