The artwork titled “Barcelona” was created by Dora Maar in the year 1932. It is a notable piece within the Surrealist art movement and belongs to the medium of photography.
The artwork captures a somewhat mundane yet intriguing street scene in Barcelona. It prominently features the facade of a building, characterized by its architectural details such as window sills, balconies, and signage. Most strikingly, a mannequin is placed in a window, evoking a sense of surrealism and human absence amidst the otherwise ordinary urban setting. The posters and signs visible on the walls further add to the layers of narrative and the historic essence of the cityscape. This juxtaposition of the animate and inanimate within the photo creates an evocative visual exploration consistent with the themes of Surrealism.
