Our next selection, Finding Dora Maar: An Artist, an Address Book, a Life, is a fascinating blend of biography, art history, and detective story. After a vintage address book once belonging to Dora Maar unexpectedly comes into the author's possession, Brigitte Benkemoun embarks on an extraordinary journey to uncover the life of one of the twentieth century's most compelling artists. Often remembered as Pablo Picasso's muse and the subject of The Weeping Woman, Dora Maar was also a groundbreaking photographer, painter, and influential figure within the Surrealist movement.
