Been in Provence - Seillans - for an exhibition called
*Happy Birthday Dorothea Tanning*
at Maison Waldberg.
Tanning lives in New York but lived at Seillans with Max Ernst
for a decade, mid 1960 -70's.
She will be 100 years old in August, hence the show: which was
wonderful. Beautifully presented, lots of info and photos of her
time in France, marvellous examples of her work.
Our Marcus played a major part in setting up the exhibition
and he was much feted by the town. As a hanger-on I basked in
his reflection and got fed at La Glorie de Mon Pere, a restaurant
under the trees by the fountain which I recommend to those who
make the trip to see the show. Do! Its a rare chance to see a major
player in the surreal circle.
