The Death of Dorothea Tanning

Dorothea Tanning died at the end of last month, she was 101 years old!She was probably the best known of the female Surrealists. The last time I saw one of her works exhibited was in the 'elles@centrepompidou' a couple of years ago. The work was titled 'Chambre 202, Hotel du Pavot'

Its stuffed figures recalled again the work of Louise Bourgeois.
I don't think that these connections are coincidences. The influences of these great women artists work at many levels not the least as an undercurrent of thought or a pulse of visual memory. Then unbidden they weave their way into my own works, both unrecognised and recognised.
