Picasso: Love and War 1935–1945: Life with Dora Maar is a richly illustrated exhibition catalogue exploring one of the most intense and creatively significant periods in Pablo Picasso’s life and work.

Focusing on the years 1935 to 1945, this volume examines Picasso’s relationship with artist and photographer Dora Maar, and the powerful influence of love, conflict, politics and war on his artistic output during this decade. Written by Anne Baldassari, the book was originally published in French as Picasso Dora Maar by Flammarion in 2006.

This English language edition was published to accompany the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces exhibition Picasso: Love & War 1935–1945, held at the National Gallery of Victoria from 30 June to 8 October 2006. It is an important reference for readers interested in Picasso, Dora Maar, modern art, 20th-century European art and major gallery exhibition catalogues.
