Picasso's "Guernica, " from Verve 'Photograph by Dora Maar'

About the Item

Picasso's famous Guernica painting as photographed by Dora Maar. Photogravure from the first issue of the luxury journal "Verve," published by Tériade and printed by Draeger Frères, 1937. Edition of approx 15,000. The photograph was taken in the Pavilion of the Spanish Republic, 1937. Framed on high quality wood lacquered in black. Pablo Picasso asked Dora Maar for a photographic record of the entire Guernica creative process. Several people sensed the importance of the work and Christian Zervos, founder of "Cahiers d'Art", published all the metamorphosis of the work in a special issue of the magazine. In good original condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. Dora Maar (1907–1997), born Henriette Theodora Markovic´, was an Argentinian-raised photographer of French and Croatian descent, with further known artistic work in poetry and painting; she is most widely known as Pablo Picasso's muse of nearly a decade (beginning late 1930s), including for his widely known pieces Guernica and The Weeping Woman. Maar painted some minor elements of Guernica and she became better known in the art world via her photographs of the stages of Picasso's execution of the masterwork in his rue des Grands Augustins workshop. After the Picasso years, she turned to analysis and eventually to Roman Catholicism and is famously quoted as saying, "After Picasso, only God." Maar spent her last years living in Paris and a house that Picasso had given her, in Provence. She displayed her paintings through the 1990s, with the last show two years prior to her death. She died at the age of 89 years in Paris and is buried alongside family at Clamart Cemetery in Hauts de Seine.
