Dorothea Tanning's 'Endgame' presents a warped chessboard with a draped figure, distorted shadows, and a clock face, creating a surreal and enigmatic scene.
Dorothea Tanning (1910-2012) was an American painter, sculptor, writer, and poet. Though she resisted being labelled a Surrealist, her work is associated with the movement due to its dreamlike imagery and exploration of the subconscious. She was married to fellow Surrealist artist Max Ernst in 1946, and their relationship influenced both their artistic outputs. Tanning's work often features unsettling and enigmatic scenes, challenging conventional perceptions of reality. 'Endgame' presents a warped chessboard as its setting. A draped figure, reminiscent of a classical sculpture, dominates the composition, casting a long, distorted shadow. A clock face, without hands, is faintly visible on the lower right side of the board. The squares of the chessboard are rendered in red, black, and gold, creating a disorienting effect. At the bottom left, a small patch of white, resembling ice or snow, adds to the painting's surreal atmosphere. The painting's title, 'Endgame', suggests a sense of finality or conclusion, inviting viewers to contemplate the meaning of the scene and its symbolic elements.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
