Dorothea Tanning (1910-2012), one of the twentieth-century’s most original and provocative painters, delivers a vivid account of a fascinating life lived as an artist among artists, revealing the irresistibly creative mind that propelled her. She travelled the world of Surrealism and went beyond it with fellow explorers, including Max Ernst, to whom she was married. Their life together forms an important part of her story; a story which, spanning almost a century, unfolds through Tanning’s incandescent prose.
Dorothea Tanning's painting and sculpture rank among the most inventive of any living American artist. Her poetry has appeared in The New Republic, Partisan Review, and The Paris Review, among many other publications, and was included in The Best American Poetry 2000. She lives in New York City.
