The life and times of one of our most enchanting artists; a
twentieth-century fairy tale, lovingly remembered and luminously
told. Fourteen years ago, the artist Dorothea Tanning published
Birthday, a collection of reminiscences. Now she has expanded it
into a memoir of her journey through the last century as confidant,
collaborator, and muse to some of its most inspired minds and
personalities: a diverse assemblage that ranges from the fathers of
dada and surrealism to Virgil Thompson, George Balanchine, Alberto
Giacometti, Dylan Thomas, Truman Capote, Joan Miro, James Merrill,
and many more. At its center is the relationship, tenderly
rendered, between Tanning and her famed husband, the enigmatic
surrealist Max Ernst. Whether recalling the poignant presence of
her friend Joseph Cornell or simply marveling at the facades along
a Venice canal, "their filmy reflections fluttering in the dirty
canal like fragile altar cloths hung out to dry," Tanning's writing
is beguiling, wry, and shot through with the same eye for pregnant
detail and immanent magic that marks her art.
