Dorothea Tanning est un grand peintre surréaliste et la femme de Max Ernst. C'est entre ces deux vies que s'écrit cette autobiographie attachante, pétillante de malice et d'humour, mais aussi traversée de grandes tristesses pudiques. De New York à Paris, en passant par le désert d'Arizona, un jardin en Touraine et une colline en Provence, Dorothea retrace, de " nid " en " nid ", le parcours d'une femme, mais aussi celui du couple qu'elle a formé pendant plus de trente ans avec l'énigmatique peintre allemand. Un livre de rencontres où l'on croise avec une familiarité touchante un nombre incalculable de figures artistiques et intellectuelles : Breton, Giacometti, Balanchine, Duchamp, Miro, Matta, Cunningham, John Cage, Dylan Thomas, Truman Capote... ; un témoignage affectueux et lucide sur la France où elle a longtemps vécu, mais aussi une réflexion sans amertume sur le statut de la femme : comment réussit-on à concilier passion amoureuse et amour de l'art ? Et puis, comment apprend-on à vivre à nouveau quand disparaît celui qui représentait les deux ?

Exquisite Dreams is the first full account of Dorothea Tanning's art and life. Rather than only focusing on her well-known surrealist paintings, this book gives equal weight to Tanning's lesser-known but equally powerful sculptures, abstract paintings and films. Setting Tanning's writings, biography and art into the contexts of advertising, fashion, popular culture and art in New York and Paris, Lyford brings Tanning's ideas and feelings to life. Using new archival sources and analyses of Tanning's work in a variety of media, Lyford broadens our understanding of the artist. This amply illustrated book is an important contribution to the history of women artists, gender and sexuality studies, as well as the history of Surrealism. It will appeal to art historians and art lovers alike.

While a young student in Chicago, Dorothea Tanning (1910-2012) regularly haunted the corridors of the Art Institute in order to learn `what painting was'. She later moved to New York, and met the art dealer, Julien Levy, who introduced her to surrealist refugees who had fled from occupied Europe, including her future husband Max Ernst. Tanning and Ernst settled first in Sedona, Arizona,where she created enigmatic paintings of life on the inside, looking out (including Tate's own Eine Kleine Nachtmusik from 1943). The couple transferred to Paris in 1956, a move which marked the beginning of Tanning's intense adventure in soft sculpture, featuring fleshy, figure-like protruberances captured in textured fabrics (such as the remarkable installation Chambre 202, Hotel du Pavot or Tate's Nue couchee 1969-70). Tanning returned to the USA after Ernst's death in 1976 and, while continuing to paint, she also began to write poetry and fiction (her published works include two memoirs, Birthday and Between Lives, two collections of poems Coming to That and A Table of Content, and a novel, Chasm). Dorothea Tanning died at her home in New York City on January 31, 2012. She was 101 years old. There is little in print detailing Tanning's entire career, and still less that is well illustrated. This book will be a beautiful introduction to the work of a remarkable and fascinating artist. It will include an overview of the artist's life and career written by Alyce Mahon; Ann Coxon will write on theme of the home and domestic in Tanning's art and examine the overlap with the several contemporary women artists; Idoia Murga Castro will explore the significance of dance and stage in tanning's work, with particular relevance to the drama of the 1940s and 50s; and Mahon will also write on Tanning's sculptural output. The texts and plates are to be punctuated by extracts from Tanning's diaries, selected by the curators and the Pamela Johnson, Executive Director of the Dorothea Tanning Foundation in New York.
