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.

Sorry I uploaded these out of order. This was when I was washing my face late and night with my lovely Dark Angels, and I thought, "Oh fuck, I forgot to take a picture!" Here is the angry result.
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.
Minutes after we signed all the paperwork for the offer on the house, we drove back to the apartment building and I snapped this shot. The Dude was busy finding street parking since someone was PARKED IN MY PARKING SPACE. Argh.
Our apartment building is under new management and, in two words, they suck. Since they didn't call me back until Monday and this happened on Saturday it wasn't much use for them to even call me back. As it turns out the building manager told the strange car to park there because they couldn't seem to recall THAT I'VE PARKED IN THAT SAME EXACT SPACE FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS.
I was also advised to park in two other spaces if that happened again. As it turns out one of the spaces she told me to park in IS ALSO ASSIGNED so I called her back to let her know space #36 is already assigned and she shouldn't be telling people to park there or the same problem is going to happen again to someone else in my apartment building. She asked if I knew the name of the person who parks in that space. Isn't that her job to know that? I told her no, but described the car and gave her the license plate. Very professional Ms. Buidling Manager. I can't wait to move.
P.S. I left a note on the car parked in my space that said "Move your car or it will be towed". When the building manager called me back she told me "the girl parked in your space was very offended the nasty note you left". That's funny. Because if the girl was smart she would be very offended that you can't do your job.
P.P.S. It could have been worse. Sally and I both had the brilliant idea to use lipstick to write the note directly on her windshield. I resisted that urge. I'm glad about that. Karma. And more importantly, lipstick is expensive.
