This title in other formats:Between Lives: An Artist and Her Worldby Dorothea Tanning
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Fourteen years ago, the artist Dorothea Tanning published Birthday, a collection of reminiscences. Now she has expanded it into a memoir of her journey through the last century as confidant, collaborator, and muse to some of its most inspired minds and personalities: a diverse assemblage that ranges from the fathers of dada and surrealism to Virgil Thompson, George Balanchine, Alberto Giacometti, Dylan Thomas, Truman Capote, Joan Miro, James Merrill, and many more. At its center is the relationship, tenderly rendered, between Tanning and her famed husband, the enigmatic surrealist Max Ernst. Whether recalling the poignant presence of her friend Joseph Cornell or simply marveling at the facades along a Venice canal, their filmy reflections fluttering in the dirty canal like fragile altar cloths hung out to dry, Tanning's writing is beguiling, wry, and shot through with the same eye for pregnant detail and immanent magic that marks her art. Synopsis:In 1987 the arist Dorothea Tanning published "Birthday", a collection of reminiscences. Now she has expanded it into a memoir of her journey through the last century as confidant, collaborator, muse and mentor to some of its most inspired minds and personalities. Synopsis:The life and times of one of our most enchanting artists is a 20th-century fairy tale, lovingly remembered and luminously told. Tanning expands "Birthday" into a memoir of her adventures as confidant, collaborator, and muse to some of the most inspired minds and personalities of the era.
