Dorothea Tanning

By: Dorothea Tanning,Jean Christophe Bailly,Robert C. Morgan

This long-awaited book on the work of internationally known artist Dorothea Tanning is the first comprehensive overview of a figure unique in American art. It reproduces works in every media and from every phase of her enormously inventive and productive career. Lavishly illustrated with over two hundred color plates and containing lively critical texts, a detailed chronology, and a complete bibliography, this volume is both a standard reference source and a keen meditation on the present-day re-assessment of figuration in painting."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Chasm

A Weekend

By: Dorothea Tanning

A Surrealist novel in the vein of Angela Carter, about love and beauty and dark secrets. Played out like the command of an oracle are the events that stain one night in the improbable setting of this desert tale. Rearing its impudent architecture like insult on a landscape of quiet beauty is Windcote, "its very name a masquerade," where inhabitants and guests find themselves driven by obsessions and confusions they have never faced before. Here doors open and close and open again. They hide, release, reveal, and ruin. In this web of tangled imperatives is the child, Destina, untouched by the fevers and failures around her. Her own world is outside in the mystery-locked canyon where, for the time of this story, she seems to find her own truth

Coming to That

Poems

By: Dorothea Tanning

Still later, when I was more in touch with the world, they told me, "You have a future." I thought that over. Even if I believed them, what did my little future, whatever that was, have to do with the real thing, whatever that is? —from "Waiting" In this second daring collection, Coming to That, the centenarian painter and poet Dorothea Tanning illuminates our understanding of creativity, the impulse to make, and the longevity of art. Her unique wit and candor radiate through every poem, every line, and her inquisitive mind is everywhere alive and restless. As she writes in one poem, "If Art would only talk it would, at last, reveal / itself for what it is, what we all burn to know.

Between Lives: An Artist and Her World

By: Dorothea Tanning

The life and times of one of our most enchanting artists; a twentieth-century fairy tale, lovingly remembered and luminously told. Fourteen years ago, the artist Dorothea Tanning published Birthday, a collection of reminiscences. Now she has expanded it into a memoir of her journey through the last century as confidant, collaborator, and muse to some of its most inspired minds and personalities: a diverse assemblage that ranges from the fathers of dada and surrealism to Virgil Thompson, George Balanchine, Alberto Giacometti, Dylan Thomas, Truman Capote, Joan Miró, James Merrill, and many more. At its center is the relationship, tenderly rendered, between Tanning and her famed husband, the enigmatic surrealist Max Ernst. Whether recalling the poignant presence of her friend Joseph Cornell or simply marveling at the facades along a Venice canal, "their filmy reflections fluttering in the dirty canal like fragile altar cloths hung out to dry," Tanning's writing is beguiling, wry, and shot through with the same eye for pregnant detail and immanent magic that marks her art.

Queen of the Seas

In the mist of the Empire

By: Dorothea Papathanasiou,Aldo Di Russo

Mastic and excellent seafaring are what Chios, the fifth biggest island of Greece, is known for. 10 stories developed around the skills of the mastic growers and their turbulent fate take the reader into the Unesco listed mastic fields of Chios and the Monastery of Nea Moni. The journey starts in the Middle Ages, where we witness how Chios came under the Genoese dominion, escaped the Black Death and supported Colombo to discover America. The reader becomes an eyewitness of the secret plans of the Genoese merchants, visits the mastic growers in the fields and brings Chian mastic, wine and alum to the courts of Henry VIII of England and the King of France. He meets Rousseau, Voltaire and Napoleon in the years of the Enlightenment and witnesses the French Revolution changing the world. Our story culminates with the massacre of Chios by the Ottoman troops, eternalized by Eugène Delacroix with his painting "Scène des massacres de Scio". It was the island's cruel fate, which shook the civilized world, that let the Greek War of Independence continue until freedom was won.

My Name is Loa

My Name is Loa

By: Dorothea N. Buckingham

My Name is Loa is the story of a fifteen-year-old Hawaiian boy who always thought he would grow up to become a doctor and live in a fine house. That was before he was diagnosed as having leprosy and banished to Kalaupapa on the island of Moloka’i. It is 1898, the year the Hawaiian islands were annexed to the United States. Life in Kalaupapa is not unlike life in any plantation town in Hawai’i, except for the fact that it is a leprosy settlement. Every patient sent there knows there is no return. When Loa arrives at the settlement he is frightened by the hundreds of diseased patients. But soon his life falls into a routine. He befriends Paka, a troublesome boy from Maui; he works as an editor for Brother Dutton. And he is cherished like a son by Sam, who had saved him from drowning on the voyage to Kalaupapa. Loa falls in love with Kamalani, a patient who works at the clinic. And eight-year-old Hiapo, who shares moments with him in a treehouse, eating peanuts and bombarding mynahs with their shells, teaches him to face death. My Name is Loa is a story you will never forget.

Feminist Interpretations of Maurice Merleau-Ponty

By: Dorothea Olkowski,Gail Weiss

Simone de Beauvoir identified the importance of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's writings to feminist theory. But there has been little agreement on how Merleau-Ponty's ideas ultimately have an impact on feminist philosophy. The essays presented here attempt to situate Merleau-Ponty in the larger context of feminist theory.
