"Keep your eye on your inner world and keep away from ads, idiots and movie stars."
"Is it a hardship, is it unfair to have to live in an enchanted space where striving after approval by other not always distinguished human beings is no more than a faraway rumour, frivolous as the place cards at a distant dinner party?"
“Art has always been the raft onto which we climb to save our sanity. I don't see a different purpose for it now.”
Dorothea Tanning, surrealist artist, wife of Max Ernst, who died today aged 101.
Her obituary in The Guardian
She was mentioned a number of times in the Peggy Guggenheim book I recently read. Peggy was married to Max for a while, so things between her and Dorothea were a bit tense at times.
