Through the study and commentary of a large, unpublished corpus of the artist's work, including drawings, notebooks, notes, and handwritten poems, this catalog will shed new light on a little-studied, even obscured, period of Dora Maar's work, spanning from 1936 to 1943, during which the artist shared her life with Picasso. A collection of handwritten notes, including transcriptions of conversations with Picasso, will also shed light on the nature of the relationship between the two artists and the way in which Dora Maar continued her artistic work after their breakup. The celebration of Picasso's death anniversary in 2023 represents a real opportunity to counter the events and publications that are emerging this year, by allowing us to continue the rehabilitation of Dora Maar's graphic work, which began several years ago, following the major exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou and the Tate, highlighting in particular the place of her work in the surrealist movement.
