Although this article was written years ago (2002), Dorothea
Tanning is still the oldest living Surrealist at 101 years old. I just happened
to stumble across this article but love the background information on Tanning
and the provoking questions the writer asked. I am consistently fascinated by
Surrealist art; especially female artists. This interview provides an excellent
look into Tanning’s head and her heart in regards to her painting and her life.
She seems to still be so well spoken and mentally “with-it” despite her long
life and the many people and influences she has been exposed to. Her work is
amazing and this website allows for the transitions and evolution in her works
to be seen and understood in an organized way.
