Victoria Carruthers’ Transformations is the definitive study of the artist Dorothea Tanning, positioning her as one of the most fascinating and significant creative forces to emerge during the 20th-century. It provides a framework within which to consider the range and depth of Tanning’s work, well beyond the better-known early Surrealist works of the 1940s, and makes connections between her life experiences and thematic preoccupations.
The monograph is extensively illustrated and features unpublished material from interviews that Carruthers conducted with the artist between 2000 and 2009.
