She developed experimental darkroom techniques to create unexpected images and perspectives, testing the relationship between reality and the “marvelous,” a Surrealist concept of the wonder to be found in the everyday. This work combines camera-based photography with the photogram technique: Maar laid a sheet of photographic paper in an enlarger easel, stood three art deco glass goblets upright at the top edge of the easel, and projected a negative of a model’s head onto the paper. The upper portions of the goblets were a few inches above the paper and therefore register as three large circles of light that resemble enormous jewels on the model’s hat.\n","remarks":"PHO_18_WLA.pdf - Day 1 Installation"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"<p>\n\tThe artist.
