Active at the height of Surrealism in France, Dora Maar had a dynamic, multifaceted career that has long been eclipsed by her tumultuous relationship with Pablo Picasso, who famously portrayed her as the "Weeping Woman" in numerous paintings and drawings. J. Paul Getty Museum associate curator of Photography Amanda Maddox speaks about Maar's inimitable acumen as an artist, including her innovative commercial and fashion photography, approach to the nude and eroticism, engagement with political groups, interest in socially concerned photography, affiliation with the Surrealist movement, and unknown work from her reclusive late career.
