What is the meaning behind the Portrait of Dora Maar?
1 Answer

The meaning behind the Portrait of Dora Maar is subject to personal interpretation. However, many art historians believe the abstracted portrait represents the turmoil and emotional suffering people endured during the Spanish Civil War. Pablo Picasso witnessed the horrors of the war firsthand, and the experience likely influenced his work. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Pablo Picasso art.
