In 1936 Maar, who by then had her own photographic studio, met Picasso in Paris – he was almost three decades her senior – and became his lover and muse. At the time the Spanish-born artist was in a long-running relationship with Marie-Thérèse Walter, the mother of his daughter Maya, and is said to have delighted in playing the two women off against each other, remaining with Walter throughout his affair with Maar.

For the next nine years Maar created her own images, but also chronicled the life and work of her lover, capturing his progress onin 1937 and even painting a small section of the canvas.

As well as capturing a chapter of 20th-century art history, the gritty photographs of disabled, blind, wounded, poor and dispossessed people in urban Spain and the UK also document the economic crisis sweeping prewar Europe in the 1930s.After the war, Maar – who split from Picasso in 1945 when he left her for the artist Françoise Gilot – suffered a brief breakdown and reportedly underwent electroconvulsive therapy.

Although Picasso painted Maar many times, she was not impressed with his representations of her. “All [his] portraits of me are lies. Not one is Dora Maar,” she once said.

Murals are the new 'big things' keeping these small towns aliveThey bring art lovers to regional areas, but these big murals are also inspiring and reinvigorating residents of small Aussie towns. Love murals. The cover ugl walls, brighten dull spaces and often tell a story. I love that we have artists popping around doing the murals where I live in Gippsland. It brings so much life to some sadly boring looking buildings. It's great to see attractive art being put on display and not contemporary rubbish
