초록
This paper points to a rethinking of Surrealism through Dorothea Tanning’s paintings, asking what artists outside Europe made of Surrealism and how they adapted it to new cultural and personal situations and reshaped into a new set of histories. Tanning’s paintings from around 1942 to 1952, especially images with door motifs, display female psyches, from the child-girl’s dreamy fantasy, to pubescent frustration, to the conflicts and agonies of adult women. For women in the United States, Surrealism offered a means of liberation and empowerment. In the course of achieving those two conditions they pursued a process of self-discovery. Tanning also gave shape to her spirit of liberation upon her personal experiences while sharing the Surrealist aesthetics of liberation. Her work is a door toward the discovery of the world and of the Woman. She set the stage for the feminist movement by creating art that challenged gender boundaries.
