About This Show

In Paris, 1935, when the Surrealists were meeting in cafes and World War II hadn’t yet begun, Pablo Picasso started a passionate affair with young photographer, Dora Maar. From her photographic techniques, a new phase of Cubism began and from her face, the Weeping Woman emerged. Come here song and stories from Picasso’s most fiery muse.
