Her art and philosophical ideas reveal her transformative impact on post-war Surrealism, and her life story reveals how she skilfully navigated her role as a woman artist on the international stage. Alyce Mahon maps Tanning's extraordinary seventy-year career--from Chicago and Arizona to Paris and Seillans, through to her final years in New York--and traces how these landscapes were reshaped into kaleidoscopic imagined worlds in her paintings, sculptures and writings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47966922047639,"sku":"9780300244601","price":2798.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780300244601.webp?v=1782912562","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dorothea-tanning-a-surrealist-world-9780300244601","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
