The legacy of Dora Maar resituated at the Centre Pompidou

Centre Pompidou, Paris

Dora Maar, known for having been Picasso’s muse, has an exhibition of her own work on view from June 5 to July 29 at the Centre Pompidou. The museum spotlights her output as an accomplished artist through a selection of 500 works and 80 documents. Photographer-turned-painter, Dora Maar’s work has often remained in the shadow of Picasso’s, and today the Centre Pompidou shows the artist in her own right: her intellectual approach, surrealist aesthetic and, above all, independence. The exhibition is the largest retrospective dedicated to the artist in France to date, and is organized in co-production with the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the Tate Modern in London.
