Birthday | Dorothea Tanning | 1942
“Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism” was an exhibition which took place in the MoMA in 1936 and transformed the vision of the artists on regards modern art. Among them, we find Dorothea Tanning, a freelance illustrator who worked in New York. From there, she became familiar with the works by Max Ernst, one of the pioneers of the movement who, in 1942, visited Tanning in her studio. As today’s painting was untitled, he suggested its name, Birthday. A week later, they started a relationship; until they married in some kind of surrealist wedding á trois next to Man Ray.
In Birthday, we see a self portrait of Tanning wearing a strange dress. The top of it has sleeves typical of the clothes the kings wore long time ago, leaving her breasts uncovered. Under the waist, Tanning wears some kind of black skirt with an accessory like roots on her back. The artist is opening a door which shows an infinite succession of doors half opened. At the lower right corner, we can see a furry creature representing a pet. Indeed, it is surrealistic.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I’m
assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

literature which provides guidance and technical information educating communities on how to become disaster
resistant in the face of natural disasters. However, it is still possible
to insect the terminals and make sure there is no corrosion.
Aside from these types of power packs, you can even choose the 8-cell and also 12-cell electric battery.
This website was… how do I say it? Relevant!!
Finally I’ve found something which helped me. Appreciate it!
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know
so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
