The session will be inspired by the life and art of Dora Maar, we will focus on the weeping woman portraits Pablo Picasso made of her, the surrealistic photos she made herself and the Man Ray photos for which she modeled.
Model Beth:
Beth Reeks is a life model with a good 29 years of experience. She is influenced by the fashion and art of the 1920's and 30's, butshe insists on keeping an open mind for all different periods of art and fashion. But above all she has a fascination for Dora Maar.
Inspirational theme: Dora Maar
Dora Maar was beautiful, intelligent, experimental and ahead of her time. She was one of Picasso's muses and possibly one of his most well-known muses, and this may not have helped as it sometimes overshadowed her own talents. She deserves to be acknowledged for her own artistic career. She explored alternative artistic avenues of film, street photography and fashion shoots. She was Man Ray's assistant at one point, and this had quite an impact and inspired her to create some surreal dreamlike photographic imagery. She found success with both her photography and her painting. She lived to a good old age, but Picasso’s departure for his next muse left her disillusioned for quite some time. She ainted until the end of her life.
