| book description |

This study overhauls canonical accounts of Surrealism, demonstrating how one woman artist expanded its activity and expression in bold new ways for the modern age Â The life and art of Dorothea Tanning (1910â€“2012) exemplify the transnational spirit and nomadic practice of Surrealism, an achievement made all the harder because the artist was a woman. In Dorothea Tanning: A Surrealist World we travel with Tanning across lived places and imagined spaces in Chicago, Arizona, Paris, and Seillans, through to her final years in New York. Â Expertly drawing from extensive archival and curatorial research to map the artistâ€™s life story across a seventy-year career, Alyce Mahon situates Tanning at the very heart of avant-garde discussions on art and philosophical ideas. She explores how this circle of relationships informed Tanningâ€™s work at critical moments of her career and how she navigated the difficulty of being the wife of a male artist already established on the international stage. Mahon demonstrates how Tanningâ€™s work expanded postwar global Surrealism in offering a world of kaleidoscopic, constantly shifting perspectives.
