4.9/5 (29360 ratings)

Description:Said to be the only woman who ever stood up to the dominant Picasso, Dora Maar is a glamorous and successful young Surrealist artist when they meet and start striking sparks off each other in 1936. She is seen as a ‘tough cookie’ – as she needs to be in a society where women have no vote and a Parisian art world where female artists can survive only as the nude model/mistress or 'Muse' of a male painter. And she is initially wary of the advances of the older Picasso, who not only has a wife and son, but a young mistress that he has kept hidden for many years, and who is also reputed to be hard on women. However, as Dora begins to understand the trauma and inner loneliness underlying his painting and his macho bravado,and as she works closely with him on the famous mural Guernica about an atrocity during the Spanish Civil War, she comes to love Picasso. Yet while he admires and needs her, she has to stand up to his self-destructive need to test her. With the onset of World War II and the looming German Occupation - which in different ways will threaten both of them - their lives come under increasing strain.
