Between Lives: An Artist and Her WorldBy Maria TThe book is very interesting if you like to know about the life and art of Dorothea Tanning and Max Ernst. In addition to that you will find out about other great artists from the surrealist circle. The reason I gave it three stars is because I didnt like the style in which it was written.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. You want to have coffe with this artistBy Stuart PearsonTanning turns out to be not just one of the most under-appreciated artists of her time. but a thoroughly delightful writer. The book is almost whimsical in its telling of her life with and without Max Ernst. Her descriptions of finding her muse. working against inertia. picking up emotional wreckage and continually finding herself anew are inspiring and told in such flowing prose you find yourself wanting to spend an afternoon with this wondrous woman. At the time of this review. shes still alive and kicking at 101 and I thank her so much for her extraordinary paintings. her delightful poetry (still getting published in New Yorker magazine) and this wonderful account of her life as artist/muse/wife and survivor.
