Surrealist Woman Gives Birth To Self, Dec 31 1996
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Birthday (Paperback)
The women of the French Surrealist movement are largely forgotten or treated as appendages to theirmale counterparts. In Birthday, Dorothea Tanning writes
herself and, by relation, other women surrealists of the time,
including Leonora Carrington, into a fullness of life apart
from the men. Dorothea Tanning was a young painter in New
York City in the 1930's, where she seduced or is seduced by
the expatriated Max Ernst over a game of chess. Ernst offers
her guidance and the leverage of his name and reputation in
artistic circles, but Dorothea develops her own disturbing
surrealist land/dreamscapes in which to allow the viewer to wander.
Both Dorothea Tanning and Leonora Carrington are alive and
creating art today, although neither receives the attention she
deserves. Along with Birthday, I'd recommend any of Leonora
Carrington's prose (Down Below, The Seventh Horse, and The Hearing
Trumpet among them), as well as the fine book of prints, Women
Artists And The Surrealist Movement, which goes a long way
toward uncovering the talents of the many women in Surrealism.
