23: Doors & Davenports - Dorothea Tannin...

Stephanie Dueñas & Russell Shoemaker / Art Slice
About this episode

In this week’s episode,

Stephanie and Russell discover the many versions of second generation, multidisciplinary Surrealist Dorothea Tanning and dive into a few works from her nearly century long, prolific career:

Birthday, oil on canvas from 1942; soft sculpture installation, Hotel du Pavot, Chambre 202 from 1970-73; and in a Patreon exclusive Midi et demi (Half Past Noon, oil on canvas, 1956-57.

From small town Midwest roots to New York City hustling waiting for her big break, Dorothea’s early life and artistic journey are ones that many can relate to. Despite living in the shadow of her husband, OG Dada and Surrealist artist Max Ernst, she very much had her own painting techniques.
