Born in Galesburg, Illinois to Swedish parents, Dorothea Tanning became a leading Surrealist painter. Her work focuses on sensuality, fantasy, and also explores the unconscious and the irrational. She has lived a long life and continued in her early 90s to make paintings and sculpture, now concentrating on writing and publishing poetry. She had more recognition in France than America; a major solo exhibition in her own country was in November, 2000 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
