I liked the format of this video with the info on the left and her art on the right. Tanning was so multitalented, what an amazing woman! Thanks for another great video!
Love this, thank you. I was lucky enough to see an exhibition of her work at the Tate Modern in London in 2019. Birthday is one of my favourite painting of all time.
WOW!!! As always you have introduced me to someone I did not know about but should have! I AM IN LOVE WITH DOROTHEA!!! I must research more on this amazing WOMAN artist!!!
Thank you so much, Paul, for introducing me to yet another artist I somehow missed being exposed to previously. As she's female, I'm not surprised to find her on that list re historical patriarchy. I love that she was not only both artist and writer, but also label defying and worked in multiple forms of art. My favorite work among those shared is Birthday, hands-down. The body language, outfit, bareness and its location, the multitude of doors, their openness and angles, the colors and use of light, dark and perspective, all the details and symbolism, just make me want to gaze into it for as long as I can. Have a great day. 💖
Thank you for the video. I did not know much about this artist so it was very informative for me. Her development as an artist is really quite astounding!
I wish Paul had made this before the Dorothea Tanning was at the Tate was shown. I'm interested to hear she wrote poetry. I get so tired of reading captions when work is on display, these Videos are full of information that really influence attitudes about artists with their openness - Many Thanks again Paul, that was great.
I didn't know Tanning's story with as much detail as provided here, so this was quite interesting. I do like her work, but I often get it confused with that of Leonora Carrington (1917-2011), a Mexican-based artist of British origin, and Remedios Varo (1908-1963), a Spanish artist who like Carrington settled in Mexico, all three women working in a similar Surrealist idiom. Of Tanning's work illustrated in this upload, I find her 1942 painting 'Birthday' most engaging.
I've long awaited a video of Dorothea. An outstanding, imagineering artist. She most certainly is underrated. A great shame that Phaidon didn't continue their video releases of art documentaries, and onto DVD, then BlueRay. My videos, which I bought many years ago, are quite knackered and having the former Phaidon releases on disc would have been treasured. The absence of these is annoying actually.
Her work reminds me a lot of that of Leonora Carrington (1917-2011), who was long based in Mexico, though British by birth. Carrington's work in turn often makes me think of that of Remedios Varo (1908-1963), a Spaniard who relocated to Mexico and had did have close association with Carrington.
Hey slow down! This is moving too fast. I can’t take in the left side of the screen and then the right before you zip it along. Love your channel. Please delve into the less common artists more. Seen too many bios of the top artists everyone is familiar with.
When you are old you want to live as long as you can. It's exactly the same as when you are young. Remember, the exterior might look 80 but the mind is still 25. It's one of the lessons of life you appreciate as you get older.
Dorothea Tanning was a second rate artist. If Max Ernst had not been in her life, she would have died in total obscurity. She was impossible to work with and known for her disgraceful treatment of people and gallery staff. She was also known for criticizing the press releases from the galleries, insisting on a replacement written by her with inaccuracies and very obvious and irreparable grammar mistakes. She thought that her work surpassed many surrealists including Ernst. Her arrogance had no bound. During one of the shows that I helped curate, she asserted that her collectors and the public were going to buy all her work and the critics were going to finally recognize her greatness. None showed up, including people she claimed were her friends. Her nastiness wore out the few people she met through Ernst. It was a great relief when the show closed. The gallery owner apologized promising to listen to me next time.
Very interesting to get insights from someone that actually met her. Your observations open up lots of questions. They were married for 30 years and nothing I have come across suggests it was a difficult marriage, but outsiders wouldn't know. I wonder if the death of Max and the forty years she spent on her own afterwards, created a loneliness and self indulgence that wasn't apparent when the two of them were together. From her writings she did seem to have loved him.
Hi sir with the greatest respect your change of format is practically unwatchable , because of the bombardment of visual information . I would assume someone has given you advice in this regard , so I humbly suggest you dispense with their input . Keep it informed and simple, as you use to do . Best wishes and kind regards as always
@@ArtHistorySchool hi sir sorry I’m late in replying , we have all as a family been affected by the bug if you know what I mean .

Many thanks for your reply, there is absolutely no need for apologies. Friends also commented about there being too much to read and not enough time to read it. That has hopefully been addressed in the next video which will be about the Australian artist, Sydney Nolan. This format is intended for artists who are well known in their own countries, but who do not have the mega stardom of a Van Gogh or a Picasso.
Hello sir I saw your most videos and also continue watching . its very interesting and amazing. Can you read a artist about Bhupen khakhar . He is Indian gay artist I love his work. if you make a video about Bhupen khakhar it’s so beneficial for me and other art student as well. Thanks.

Art History School: OUSTANDING personality!
She certainly was.
Outstanding as has been said, you always educate so well. She certainly got a lot done.
Many thanks, she certainly was an outstanding artist.
What a fascinating and multi-talented artist. She was so prolific...still publishing her writing at the age of 100. Dorothea was truly a legend.
I think she was
Thank you for introducing me to artists they didn’t bother to discuss in my undergraduate years.
My pleasure. Cheers
I'm getting quite the art education just by watching your videos. Now I know of and appreciate Dorthea Tanning.
That's great, thanks
Formidable! 🙏👏🏻🤸🏼🤗

She certainly was
I absolutely love all of your videos and only wish they were longer (because I enjoy them so much and don't want them to end). THANK YOU!

You are right there are a lot of similarities between Dorothea and Leonora, both were very interesting artists.
Another great video! Please keep 'em coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Don't go with the flow start riding the waves that's what she did. What a fabulous artist!
She did. Glad you enjoyed the video

My videos, which I bought many years ago, are quite knackered and having the former Phaidon releases on disc would have been treasured. The absence of these is annoying actually.
She was a wonderful artist, hopefully my video will go a little way in redressing the balance.
@@ArtHistorySchool If I continued to be as creative, I wouldn't mind clocking out at over a hundred.
True
Thank you for this brilliant presentation of such an interesting artist! 🌹
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
She was a legend.
She certainly was.
Really great information about art work💕💕💕 Regards🎨 🖌
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you❗️⚘️♥️
You are so welcome
GraciasS 💖
Cheers
Thanks Paul. She was a legend. Did she ever have anything to do with the Mexico-based surrealists? In my head I thought she was part of that group.
I don't think she had much contact with the Mexican Surrealists - maybe you are thinking of Frida Kahlo perhaps?
Her work reminds me a lot of that of Leonora Carrington (1917-2011), who was long based in Mexico, though British by birth. Carrington's work in turn often makes me think of that of Remedios Varo (1908-1963), a Spaniard who relocated to Mexico and had did have close association with Carrington.
Superbe !
Thank you
Love her
She was good
Çok teşekkürler.

Love your channel. Please delve into the less common artists more. Seen too many bios of the top artists everyone is familiar with.
Point taken, there are more lesser known artists coming up.
I never heard of Tanning before. I found this video fascinating! Maybe you should create some videos of less common artists.
@@robthetimekeeper2423 I feel the same. Was very happy to be able to discover Dorothea Tanning this morning. Amazing work
Can you make videos of Bangladeshi painters like SM Sultan, Zainul Abedin and many more.I'm looking forward for more videos. Thank you
I'll have to look these painters up and see what they produce.
Just osm
Cheers

Dorothea Tanning : Whirling desperately around in the watery pageant of art history and not making a single wave.
You are entitled to your opinion, others would disagree.
She died too old, waaaoooooo !!!, what a productive artistic life
When you are old you want to live as long as you can. It's exactly the same as when you are young. Remember, the exterior might look 80 but the mind is still 25. It's one of the lessons of life you appreciate as you get older.

I think she died on 31st Jan
You are right, mistype unfortunately.
Under rated according to who? Over rated by you with her bad compositions. Her inspiration, Magritte leaves her in the dust.
If you want to be taken seriously change your name
Hello sir
I saw your most videos and also continue watching . its very interesting and amazing. Can you read a artist about Bhupen khakhar . He is Indian gay artist I love his work. if you make a video about Bhupen khakhar it’s so beneficial for me and other art student as well. Thanks.
I don't know much about him, I'll have to look him up. Cheers
