Description

Dora Maar’s successful commercial practice included fashion assignments from popular French magazines such as this striking view of a tulle cape from designer Elsa Schiaparelli’s 1934 collection. However, Maar’s lasting place in photographic history derives from work she did as part of Surrealist circles.
