Between Lives - An Artist and Her World

Dorothea Tanning (1910-2012), one of the twentieth-century's most original and provocative painters, delivers a vivid account of a fascinating life lived as an artist among artists, revealing the irresistibly creative mind that propelled her. She travelled the world of Surrealism and went beyond it with fellow explorers, including Max Ernst, to whom she was married. Their life together forms an important part of her story; a story which, spanning almost a century, unfolds through Tanning's incandescent prose.
