By Isabel Rock

Located in Norfolk, GB

Isabel Rock is a creator of contemporary fairy tales. A graduate of the Royal College of Art in London, her work is an explosion of strange occurrences while a surreal narrative takes the audience on a journey into the imagination. In October 2023 Isabel won the Evelyn Williams Drawing Award at the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize. Known as the UK’s most prestigious annual open exhibition for drawing; part of the prize is a solo show at Hastings Contemporary, scheduled for 2024. Whilst Isabel always has a tale to tell for each of her images, you may or may not choose to go on the journey with her or you may indeed have a different story, one of your own that jumps off the page at you and you decide to follow. Artwork Details: Isabel Rock , 'Just another Day in Paradise', mixed media on best archival paper, 85cm x 140cm, unframed, 2022 In Rock's own words, 'It was just another day in Paradise for the Pink Poodle People of the Everlasting Fountain of Eternal Joy. Since every day was Paradise it was just another normal day filled with love, ecstasy and wonder. It started slowly at first, things began to appear in paradise, strange objects that the Pink Poodle People did not know what to do with. Some had sharp edges, others were so and smelt strange, bad strange. Some things glittered and shone. Every day more of these objects would arrive in Paradise. ' If this happens every day then soon Paradise will be full of these strange objects. Some of them are nice but many are bad and smelly. One day there will be no Paradise, only bad, sharp and smelly things.' But the Pink Poodle People did not know what to do with the objects and every day more arrived.' Artwork Provenance: from the Artist Studio A certificate of authentication comes from Gallery Art 1821 photo credits, Isabel working, black and white shots, James Brown About Isabel Rock and her work: Taking inspiration from Japanese woodblock prints and Indian miniature painting Rock has developed a unique collage technique that combines bold structures with large-scale woodblock prints and intricate detailing. The subject is a grand mixture of humour, drama, hidden morals, fanciful characters, modern culture, mythical beings and fantastical situations. Rock creates a world that pulls you in and demands your attention. Quality of line is paramount, the drawings are created using a dipping pen and acrylic ink. An essential tool is a squirrel...

You and Me

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.
