Lot Essay


‘[Dora Maar’s landscapes] do not stand in need of explanation. There is nothing slapdash, repetitive, or approximate about them … these are pictures which do not stale.’
John Russell

Both lots 401 and 402 belonged to the collection of the English art critic John Russell, who befriended Maar in the 1950s, and wrote the preface to the catalogue of her 1958 show, held at the Leicester Galleries in London.
