Dorothea Tanning Art

American, 1910-2012
Dorothea Tanning (1910–2012) was an American surrealist painter, sculptor, writer, and poet. Born in Galesburg, Illinois, she moved to New York in the 1930s, where she was introduced to surrealism. Her early works, such as Birthday (1942), depict dreamlike, mysterious interiors with unsettling imagery. She later married fellow surrealist Max Ernst, and they lived in France for several decades. Over time, her art evolved into more abstract and expressive forms. In addition to her visual art, Tanning wrote novels and poetry, remaining active in creative fields until her death at 101.

Pablo Picasso Estate Hand Signed Fauvist Lithograph Woman Portrait Marie Therese
By Pablo Picasso
Located in Surfside, FL
Pablo Picasso (after) "Portrait de Marie Therese" limited edition print on Arches paper, Hand signed by Marina Picasso lower right and numbered 274/500 lower left From the estate of Pablo Picasso with an embossed blindstamp in the lower right side of the piece. After Pablo Picasso's death in 1973, his granddaughter Marina authorized the printing of these original lithographs, which have come to be known as the Picasso Estate Collection. The lithographs were meticulously created after the original works (Oil Paintings, Watercolors, Pastels, Charcoal Drawings, etc.) by Master Chromist Marcel Salinas, who worked closely with Picasso in his lifetime. They are printed in an edition of 500 on Arches paper. Embossed with the estate and chromist's stamp seals, along with the legend on the reverse "Approved by the heirs of Pablo Picasso". Image: 19 1/2" x 15". Paper: 28" x 20 3/4". Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881 – 1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright who spent most of his adult life in France. Regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907), and Guernica (1937), a dramatic portrayal of the bombing of Guernica by the German and Italian air forces during the Spanish Civil War...
