Exquisite Dreams is the first comprehensive account of Dorothea Tanning's art and life. Rather than solely concentrating on her renowned surrealist paintings, this book accorded equal importance to Tanning's lesser-known but equally powerful sculptures, abstract paintings, and films. By contextualizing Tanning's writings, biography, and art within the realms of advertising, fashion, popular culture, and art in New York and Paris, Lyford vividly brings Tanning's ideas and emotions to life. Through the use of new archival sources and comprehensive analyses of Tanning's work across various media, Lyford expands our understanding of the artist. This lavishly illustrated book makes a significant contribution to the histories of women artists, gender and sexuality studies, and surrealism. It will captivate art historians and art enthusiasts alike.
