Exquisite DreamsExquisite Dreams is the first full account of Dorothea Tanning's art and life. Rather than only focusing on her well known surrealist paintings, this book gives equal weight to Tanning's lesser known but equally powerful sculptures, abstract paintings, and films. Setting Tanning's writings, biography, and art into the contexts of advertising, fashion, popular culture, and art in New York and Paris, Lyford brings Tanning's ideas and feelings to life.
