Pablo Picasso
Artwork Detail
The Spanish artist Pablo Picasso spent much of his life working in France. He is considered the giant of 20th-century European art, working across a wide range of media. This work was painted in Paris in 1938, after Picasso had become drawn to Dora Maar’s dark, exotic appearance. He also responded to her strong personality, allowing her to usurp Marie-Thérèse Walter, mother of his daughter, Maia. This painting combines aspects of both Cubism and his new-found interest in Surrealism.
