Henriette Theodora Markovitch #bornonthisday (22 November 1907 – 16 July 1997), known as Dora Maar, was a French photographer, painter, and poet.

The painted works of Maar remained unrecognized until their posthumous sale, organized in 1999, which made the public and professionals discover a very personal production that had never left her studio.

Maar spent her last years in her apartment in Rue de Savoie, in the Left Bank of Paris. She died on 16 July 1997, at 89 years old. She was buried in the Bois-Tardieu cemetery in Clamart.!Her experiments with photograms and dark-room photography were only found posthumously. Via Wikipedia
