Art note of the Week . . . . . .

Interior with Sudden Joy by Dorothea Tanning, 1951. Oil on canvas, 61 × 91 inches.

From BOMB Magazine – Artists in Coversation by Carlo McCormick:

CM: Do you think the women involved with developing the movement got a fair deal from Surrealism?

DT: It’s a blurry question. Anyway, I wish you wouldn’t harp on that word, “women.” Women artists. There is no such thing—or person. It’s just as much a contradiction in terms as “man artist” or “elephant artist.” You may be a woman and you may be an artist; but the one is a given and the other is you.
