BOOK
MUSE TO
MASTER
ART
Dora Maar was way
more than Pablo
Picasso’s muse: The
French photographer,
painter, and poet
was a major influence
in the surrealist art
space in her own right.
Her work, often
political, progressive,
and experimental,
challenged the
perception of woman-
hood and highlighted
the hardships faced
by the disadvantaged
during the Great
Depression. Experience
her unique point of
view in L.A. at the Getty
Center Museum’s
new Dora Maar exhibit,
opening April 21.

SHIFTING TIDES
On April 22, 1970, a year after a monumental oil spill killed over 10,000 sea
creatures off the coast of Santa Barbara, 20 million Americans came
together in protest to fight for the future of our planet. Now celebrated
globally, Earth Day marks its 50th anniversary in 2020. This year’s theme is
climate action; turn to page 108 to read about the climate crusaders
leading the way and visit earthday.org to learn how you can get involved.
