Untitled

By David Smith

Located in Palm Desert, CA

"Untitled" is a painting by artist David Smith. The work is signed and dated in the upper left "David Smith (symbol) 1936". When David Smith set up a workshop on the Brooklyn Navy Pier in 1933 to learn direct-metal techniques, he shared the space not with artists, but with professional welders. Yet as he stated in 1964, ‘…all my early friends were painters…I never conceived of myself as anything other than a painter because my work came straight through the raised surface.’ Picasso and Cubism would be dominant influences in Smith’s work. He understood that Picasso imagined the world as a sculptor might, and not necessarily limited to the unavoidable impact of Cubism. In addition to pursuing a kind of rethinking of the world in three-dimensionality on his own terms, by the late 1920s, Picasso had shown interest in surrealism. That meant drawing not as a depiction of reality, but rather as a reconfiguration of the body in an assemblage of often precariously balanced, interconnected forms — some expressed in a three-dimensional form, others as drawings or paintings. Those processes are reflected in this work by David Smith; three fanciful totemic assemblages set within a landscape perspective of ground, mountains, and sky and whose presence is surreal enough to cast shadows under a presumed solar presence. Untitled, 1936 embraces surrealism, yet also serves to demonstrate the extent to which his thought processes are inextricably linked to sculpture and related to scale, spatial orientation, and three-dimensionality. With that in mind, it is not surprising to know that Smith saw no demarcation between sculpture and painting, or that a painting such as Untitled (1936) can exist outside of planning or design for future three-dimensional work.

By Dora Maar

Located in New Orleans, LA

Best known as Pablo Picasso’s famed muse and greatest love, Dora Maar was also an extraordinarily talented painter and photographer in her own right. An accomplished commercial and documentary photographer, her visionary photomontages have become icons of surrealism. Firmly entrenched in Surrealist circles when she met Picasso at a tea room in 1935, they began an artistic collaboration which developed into an almost decade-long romance. Estranged from his wife Olga Koklova and distanced from his mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter, Picasso’s personal and creative life was in turmoil when he met Maar, while she was at a high point in her career. This relationship proved to be the necessary impetus to rejuvenate his painting, while for Maar it expanded her repertoire and creative output. Painted in the early stages of their relationship, You and Me...

Questions About Dora Maar Abstract Paintings
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 19, 2025
    Dora Maar was famous for her impact on the art world. Arguably, she is best known for being the model and inspiration for Pablo Picasso's Weeping Women series of portraits. However, Maar was also an artist in her own right. Among her works were photomontages that helped define the Surrealist movement while also commenting on the day's sociopolitical issues. Shop an assortment of Dora Maar art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 10, 2025
    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.
