During the season of Lent my review of artists and artworks in the Sacred Art Pilgrim Collection will focus on imagery of Christ's Passion. Dora Maar holds a special place in the history of contemporary art as the muse and mistress of Pablo Picasso. She served as his model for two of the most expensive paintings ever sold at auction. When their tempestuous relationship ended in 1943, she suffered a breakdown and turned to the church for solace. The“Weeping Woman” of Picasso paintings was a talented artist in her own right. In Maar's later years, she gave expression to her ever deepening faith in minimalist drawings like this delicate portrait of Christ, formed out of swirls of tiny dots in a pointillist style, one of three in the gallery of the Dora Maar profile page. It resembles the face of Jesus in Italian Baroque Artist Guido Reni’s painting from the 1620s of Christ with Crown of Thorns. (John Kohan)
