In her Portrait of Père Ubu, Maar created one of Surrealism’s most striking images. Using extreme close-up and dramatic lighting in an otherwise unmanipulated photograph, she made a nightmarish apparition from a baby armadillo. Both horrific and comical, it is a fitting embodiment of Père Ubu, the obese blundering monster Alfred Jarry created in his notorious play Ubu Roi (1896). Surrealist photographs were also used to reveal the strangeness of the world we think we know, often by simply presenting it in a new way. Dora Maar titled her photograph of a baby armadillo after the anti-hero of Alfred Jarry’s famously transgressive and iconoclastic play Ubu Roi (1896), which was much admired by the Surrealists. The close-up image of the animal’s unfamiliar form is startling in itself, but by connecting the armadillo to Père Ubu, Maar created an emotional resonance for viewers familiar with the character. Suddenly, the small animal is transformed into a large, greedy, and violent human being — what was perhaps merely strange becomes monstrous. This is possible in part because of the way the photograph distorts our sense of scale by close-cropping and isolating the animal within the frame.

French artist Dora Maar
Double Image with Hat, 1936-37
To produce this complex image, Maar put together two negatives of the same model and painted the background onto the negative, then scraped off the emulsion, a technique that suggests destruction and disintegration.

Painted in Paris on October 18, 1937, this work is a “postscript” to "Guernica," Spanish artist Pablo Picasso’s response to the Spanish Civil War and the bombing of the Basque town of Gernika on April 26, 1937. The motif shifts from a mother screaming with her dead child in Guernica to a witness consumed by inconsolable mourning. A fractured bust-length portrait of a woman fills the frame, her head turned slightly left as if caught mid-sob. She grips a white handkerchief between splayed fingers as serrated teeth bite the cloth while tears streak like glassy wedges across her cheeks. Planes of acidic green and purple divide her face and a black coiffure and bow clamp the skull, and a narrow grey band behind her casts a hard shadow that boxes her in. The nose is cleaved into facets; the eyes are saucer-wide and off-axis, perched above the handkerchief’s peaks. Lines saw across blouse and collar, compressing fabric into shards. The palette of citrus yellows, teal, crimson, and black refuses mournful tones, intensifying the dissonance between brilliant color and unbearable grief. Every contour feels sharp to the touch including the claustrophobic strip of wall which makes the room ... and the sorrow ... tighten around her. The model was likely photographer, Surrealist, and Picasso’s companion Dora Maar who documented the making of Guernica and became central to his late-1937 portraiture. Grief is constructed rather than sentimental so the hard geometry of fingers, teeth, and handkerchief turns weeping into architecture. This NGV version lacks the elaborate hat of Picasso's later "Weeping Woman" at the Tate museum, heightening its directness; the tight interior and cast shadow add a sense of confinement, echoing the war’s crushing pressure. Brilliant, “wrong” colors push against tragedy as beauty is made to bear witness to catastrophe and making political horror intimate and enduring.
