Untitled

Father of Dora Maar is Croat, architect Josip (Joseph) Marković (born in Sisak, Croatia 1874 - died in Paris, France 1969). Please, see the article Josip Marković, Dora Maar i Hrvatska (Josip Marković, Dora Maar and Croatia) by Mladen Urem, Dolores Čikić and Boris Zakošek in the Croatian translation of book of Alicia Dujovne Ortiz: Dora Maar, zatočenica pogleda (Dora Maar: Prisonniere du regard) publishing in Zagreb in 2004.

"drawing of 1915"?

"In Paris, still occupied by the Germans, Picasso left to her a drawing of 1915 as a good-bye gift in April 1944;"

What does that mean? 75.35.111.26 22:28, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Extensive recent edit

I completed a first pass re-write of the Dora Maar article, which beforehand suffered on many levels, including:

a complete lack of citations,
repeated appearance of (apparent) factual statements out of chronological order,
a one sentence lede that completely ignored the many facets of her long life,
a lack of any references to her works,
a lack of references to her appearances in art, and
the presence of an unnecessary info box on Pablo Picasso (containing only 4 relevant wikilinks to Dora Maar images).

The lede is now extended, the Picasso box removed (Maar works moved into a text list in a new section of text), and the first real citation—eminent Caws biographer article in The Guardian—added and used to rewrite the Section on her early life.

The article remains with section tags (most sections unsourced), inline tags regarding repeated statements of unsourced opinions, and article tags calling for citations and move away from essay to encyclopedic.

I ask participation of persons interested in woman poets and visual artists—Maar is a photographer, painter, and poet—to have a look at the sources for this artist and begin to rewrite the long stretches of unsourced prose with accurate, sourced biography for this important artist, fascinating individual, and artistic muse.

Reading knowledge of French and Croatian would help immensely, but even art and art historical experience and fundamental copyediting skills would be very valuable; for instance, I created a stub of a section on Maar's appearances in Picasso's works, wherein each needs name, description, and date (a process which I have only begun). As well, and critically, there is a paucity of references to her work and collections, and this research must be done, and added with sources.

Please do not remove tags until substantial section by section progress is made; readers, esp. mobile readers, deserve the warning that all is not right, yet, with the article. Cheers, and good luck, I will look in.

@Leprof 7272 "... critically, there is a paucity of references to her work and collections, and this research must be done, and added with sources." Not much has changed in over 7 years! The article _still_ needs examples of her work, without which readers have no means of appreciating the quality of her achievements. yoyo (talk) 10:26, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Her liaison with Picasso, who physically abused her and made her fight Marie-Therese Walter for his love"

The article says:

"Her liaison with Picasso, who physically abused her and made her fight Marie-Therese Walter for his love"

This story is denied in the article about Marie Walter,where its written:

"The Art historian and friend of Picasso, John Richardson, says this story was not true, that both Dora Maar and Picasso told him it never happened and there is no direct evidence that it ever did. More likely the event is imagined from the pictorial representation of Walter and Maar who appear as if in battle at opposite ends of the composition of Guernica" --Ritai (talk) 23:14, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
