Dora Maar \u2013 the surrealist captured the world of the early 20th century in her photographs and paintings from her very own angle.<\/p>\n

The artist, whose real name is Henriette Theodora Markovitch, was born in 1907 to a Croatian-French family in Tours (France). She grew up between Argentina and France, and from the late 1920s she trained in painting and photography at the Union centrale des arts d\u00e9coratifs, the \u00c9cole de photographie and the Acad\u00e9mie Julian in Paris. At first, she devoted herself passionately to photography and quickly became one of the most important photographers in Paris. Full of charm and wit, Maar takes portraits, nudes, fashion and advertising photographs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\t

Many of Maar\u2019s pictures are also politically influenced. The conscientious communist captures the consequences of the economic crisis in several major European cities. With her photographs, the artist took part in every major exhibition of the Surrealists in the 1930s. Politics is also an important factor in her exchange with other surrealists. Together, the artists dream of a new world and break with conventions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
