Between Lives Résumé

Between Lives: An Artist and Her World Dorothea Tanning

Dorothea Tanning (1910-2012), one of the twentieth-centurys most original and provocative painters, delivers a vivid account of a fascinating life lived as an artist among artists, revealing the irresistibly creative mind that propelled her. She travelled the world of Surrealism and went beyond it with fellow explorers, including Max Ernst, to whom she was married. Their life together forms an important part of her story; a story which, spanning almost a century, unfolds through Tannings incandescent prose.

Between Lives Avis

"In buoyant and electric prose, laced with wit and leavened with ungrudging generosity, Dorothea Tanning has given us in this memoir a brilliant account of the fizz and panache of a truly remarkable life: Stravinsky provides her wedding champagne; at a Paris soiree, Andre Malraux upstages Orson Welles; J. Robert Oppenheimer turns up at Les Deux Magots; and the gentle and enigmatic surrealist Max Ernst, Ms. Tanning's husband, is the presiding spirit. This is a sustained success of recuperative magic." -- Anthony Hecht "It seems hardly fair that Dorothea Tanning, in a long, passionately inventive career as a painter, should have acquired as well the other harmony of prose, and that her passionate inventions as a writer should be so lovingly, so wisely resolved. Indeed it is not fair at all: the Muse was never an equal-opportunity employer, and the only appropriate response to Between Lives is untempered gratitude. How grateful I am for the Muse's caprice, twice over, for Dorothea Tanning is a dauntless writer who is entitled to love her life; she created it, and now, quite unfairly, I love it, too." -- Richard Howard
