ABOUT: Dora Maar’s shift toward gestural abstraction marked a departure from her early Surrealist and figurative work. Influenced by her engagement with various artistic disciplines—including photography, painting, writing, and drawing—her practice of studying landscapes on-site led her to adopt a more expressive and spontaneous approach to painting.
