Dora Maar (1907-1997). I knew (of) Dora Maar only as one Picassso’s many models and mistresses. I had no idea that she was one the 30’s top photographers and artists. She was friends with Breton, Aragon, Brassaï and many others who formed the brilliant Paris art scene of the 30’s. That was before she became Picasso’s umpteenth mistress and he broke her as he broke many others. He was a great…

Dora Maar “… beautiful, with a strong straight nose, perfect scarlet lips, the chin firm, the jaw a trifle heavy and more forceful for being so, rich chestnut hair drawn smoothly back, and eyelashes like the furred antennae of moths”. - Pablo Picasso, Artist on Dora Maar. Dora Maar studied painting and decorative arts before turning to photography and throughout the 1930s worked as a professional photographer, creating highly inventive fashion and nude images as well as portraits and commissioned photographs for advertising campaigns. One of her most iconic creations is ‘Les années vous guettent’ ('The years lie in wait for you’) an image constructed from two negatives that was likely made for an anti-ageing cream. Often using her friends as models, Maar created nude studies of renowned model Assia Granatouroff which, although not entirely unusual for the time, were fairly daring. Images such as 'Assia' 1934 that were considered slightly risqué at the time, show how women photographers including Maar were not afraid to step into nude photography and erotica. Having set up a studio in Paris in 1931 with film set designer Pierre Kéfer, Maar like many other women in the 1930s, took advantage of new professional opportunities in the wake of the development of the illustrated press and advertising. Commercially successful and constantly in demand, Maar worked assiduously for dozens of publications including ‘Excelsior Modes’, ‘Le Figaro Illustré’ and ‘Rester Jeune’ as well as for beauty companies and fashion houses. Maar’s first fashion commissions for couturier Jacques Heim’s eponymous fashion magazine came early on in her career in 1932 and after World War II she returned to fashion, creating textile designs for the fashion house. Her client list also included ‘Jeanne Lanvin’, 'Elsa Schiaparelli', 'Jean Patou', ‘Madeleine Vionnet’ and 'Chanel'. 'Dora Maar' is at ‘Tate Modern’ until March 15, 2020. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #doramaar #painter #photographer #provocateur #advertising #collage #photomontage #streetphotographer #artist (at Tate Modern Gallery Southbank) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7TFTNYgprh/?igshid=vej9nmurcmq8
