Description
A portrait by Dorothea Tanning, 'Deirdre' features a woman adorned with greenery and a red ribbon, rendered in soft, muted tones. The painting evokes a dreamlike and contemplative mood.
Dorothea Tanning (1910-2012) was an American painter, sculptor, writer, and poet. Her early work was influenced by Surrealism, and she later developed a more personal and abstract style. She was married to the Surrealist artist Max Ernst for 30 years. Tanning's work often explores themes of identity, sexuality, and the subconscious. She is known for her dreamlike imagery and her use of symbolism. In this oil painting, a woman is depicted with an ethereal quality. Her gaze is soft, and her expression is contemplative. She is adorned with greenery in her hair, which gives her a connection to nature. A red ribbon is draped across her body, adding a touch of colour to the otherwise muted palette. The background is a soft, indistinct colour, which helps to focus attention on the figure. The painting has a dreamlike quality, and the woman seems to be lost in her own thoughts.

Artist Biography
Dorothea Tanning
Tanning published her first poetry collection at ninety-four and her second at a hundred and one. She called herself the oldest emerging poet. She had spent the previous seven decades as a painter and sculptor.
She was born in Galesburg, Illinois, in 1910 and left for New York at twenty with twenty-five dollars. Her painting Birthday (1942) is a self-portrait: bare-torsoed, standing beside an infinite row of open doors, with a winged creature at her feet. Max Ernst saw it when he visited her studio. They married in 1946 in a double wedding with Man Ray and Juliet Browner. They lived first in Sedona, Arizona, then in Huismes, France, for decades. After Ernst died in 1976, she returned to New York.
She was published in The Yale Review, Poetry, The Paris Review, and The New Yorker, as a poet. She also wrote a memoir (Birthday, 1986), a novel (Chasm: A Weekend, 2004), and a second memoir (Between Lives, 2001). She endowed the Wallace Stevens Award at the Academy of American Poets. She died in 2012, in her Manhattan home, aged a hundred and one.
