Dorothea Tanning

About this book

This long-awaited book on the work of internationally known artist Dorothea Tanning is the first comprehensive overview of a figure unique in American art. It reproduces works in every media and from every phase of her enormously inventive and productive career. Lavishly illustrated with over two hundred color plates and containing lively critical texts, a detailed chronology, and a complete bibliography, this volume is both a standard reference source and a keen meditation on the present-day re-assessment of figuration in painting.
