I am trying to locate a print of a tanguy painting[I think it was his!]. I believe the name is “paranormal astral visions” but am not quite sure. Saw it at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, CT and love it! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Mark

ParisBreakfasts,

Thanks. I’m sorry to say I don’t think my schedule is going to let me get to the Dada show, as much as I would love to.

Other readers should check oout the Paris Breakfasts blog, in which the artist indluges in her love for painting confections!

Allen,

You’re right, Sage would make a good post topic, I think there’s enough out there to show folks some examples of her work (which was in some ways like Tanguy and in others quite different).

I also have Dorothea Tanning on my list of often neglected Surrealists.

Thanks for the reminder of what a terrific artist Tanguy was..the Dada show is on now in NYC…only somewhat related if that. Very interesting site.

I would love a post about his wife. Kay Sage was also a Surrealist and quiet accomplished. Personally, I prefer her work to Tanguy. Perhaps the best book about her is A House of her Own by Judith Suther. Unfortunately, I don’t think there are many images of her work online.

Thanks for the blog, it is enjoyable and wide-ranging.
