The Tate Modern has offered us a unique opportunity to revisit the art of feminist surrealist artist Dora Maar.
Known to the general public for her photography and her relationship with Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, who famously painted her in colourful, cubist portraits, she was also a talented creator, activist and painter herself.
I went to London this week to spend as much time in the gallery and I'm reviewing the exhibition for the website thisistomorrow.com, but here are firstly some images:
First years, experimentations in photography, collage, montage - Paris, 1930s
