Sans Titre (Main-coquillage) 1934

"Sans Titre (Main-coquillage)" (1934) is a surrealist photograph by Dora Maar, a prominent female photographer who captured the essence of the movement. The image presents a stark juxtaposition of a sculpted hand and a seashell against a backdrop of clouds, creating a dreamlike and unsettling atmosphere. The composition, reminiscent of the work of Man Ray, evokes a sense of isolation and the subconscious mind, typical of Surrealist art. Maar's use of photographic techniques, including montage and manipulation, highlights the dream-like nature of the subject matter.
