Доротея биография

Dorothea Margaret Tanning (August 25, 1910, Galesburg - January 31, 2012, New York) - American artist, sculptor, graphic artist, writer, one of the last representatives of surrealism.

Features of the artist Dorothea Tanning: we can say that Dorothea Tanning was a talented self-taught; she did not receive a system of art education (three months at the Chicago Institute of Arts do not count). Once in the early 1940s in the environment of surrealist artists, she accepted their ideas and transformed her artistic vision in accordance with them. Tanning's later works were filled with the dynamics of the movement associated with the philosophy of Henri Bergson and his ideas of flow, direct experience and intuition - from surrealism to abstractionism. The role of her colleague, the artist Max Ernst, whose wife she was, also affected her worldview. The artist was engaged in graphics, lithography, created a number of scenery and costumes for theatrical productions in Europe and America, made spatial textile sculptures. Her poems and books of memories created in the last years of her life were highly appreciated by readers and critics.
