The Mirror, 1950
by Dorothea Tanning
Part of Dorothea Tanning
At Tate Modern, February to June 2019
Tanning wanted to depict ‘unknown but knowable states’: to suggest there was more to life than meets the eye. She first encountered surrealism in New York in the 1930s. In the 1940s, her powerful self-portrait Birthday 1942 attracted the attention of fellow artist Max Ernst – they married in 1946. Her work from this time combines the familiar with the strange, exploring desire and sexuality.From the 1950s, now working in Paris, Tanning’s paintings became more abstract, and in the 1960s she started making pioneering sculptures out of fabric. A highlight of the exhibition is the room-sized installation Chambre 202, Hotel du Pavot 1970-3. This sensual and eerie work features bodies growing out the walls of an imaginary hotel room. In later life, Tanning dedicated more of her time to writing. Her last collection of poems, Coming to That, was published at the age of 101.

So, I figured that I owed it to folks on here to post a self portrait. This also shows off my first ever digital camera, responsible for the photos in the "old camera" folder.
A rarely seen Pied-billed Grebe, spotted a Quidi Vidi Lake in St. John's, Newfoundland. Reflection off calm water in the early morning light.
Self reflections, Li Jiang river cruise boat ride. Gulin, China. Dramatic treatment HDR reduced to 800 pixels.
Stylin in Anne Fontaine jacket, we headed out for our Photo Friday walk. It was cold during our photo walk. It was sunny too. So I wore gloves and shades. Little difficult to handle camera in gloves, but I managed. I took this shot against a window of a building.

FGR - Warped self reflections...
This is me, in our office building, in workout clothes. Why you ask? It is March and, once again, we are having a snow storm. This would be unusual if I didn't live in NH!
I have to drive 30 miles to work. The gym is across the street...literally. I got there at 6:00 only to find that they won't open until noon because of the "mysteriously bad and unusual NEW HAMPSHIRE WEATHER!"
You've go to be SHITTING ME!
The girl who opens the fricken place lives down the street.
I am SOOOOOOO sick of Winter.
OK...I feel better now...
