About the Item
Battersea Power Station, The Cathedral of Electrons, London, 1934
Unique silver gelatin contact print, printed c. 1934
2 x 2 1/4 inches
Provenance: The Estate of Dora Maar
A group of vintage contact prints from the 1930s reveals Dora Maar’s (1907-1997) sensitivity to juxtapositions of form, surface, and the surreal. Her images - of mannequins, deserted streets, and fractured reflections - offer quiet dislocations of the real. Working with a handheld Rolleiflex, Maar embraced urban life while hinting at its strangeness. Maar’s photographic career was disrupted by the Nazi occupation of Paris, leading to a period of withdrawal and introspection that profoundly shaped the tone of her later work.
