Her art and philosophical ideas reveal her transformative impact on post-war Surrealism, and her life story reveals how she skilfully navigated her role as a woman artist on the international stage. Alyce Mahon maps Tanning's extraordinary seventy-year career--from Chicago and Arizona to Paris and Seillans, through to her final years in New York--and traces how these landscapes were reshaped into kaleidoscopic imagined worlds in her paintings, sculptures and writings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlyce Mahon\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art History and a Fellow of Trinity College at the University of Cambridge.
