Dorothea Tanning; Tracey Emin review / From the sublime to the miserabilist
‘Without precedent’: Nue Couchée, 1969-70 Dorothea Tanning Dorothea Tanning; Tracey Emin review – from the sublime to the miserabilist Tate Modern; White Cube Bermondsey, London A show full of surprises reveals Dorothea Tanning as so much more than the last surrealist, while Tracey Emin delivers a monotone lament in 100 works Laura Cumming Sunday 3 March 2019 Astartling painting in this terrific survey of the American artist Dorothea Tanning (1910-2012) shows dinner time in some conventional midwestern home. The paterfamilias, with blinding spectacles and a hideous orange tie, towers above the proceedings. His daughter is much smaller; tinier still is a cook bearing...

When I looked out the kitchen window this morning I was surprised to see that there was a little tuft of green leaves and a cluster of flowers on the honeysuckle. Five days of 70 degrees and the honeysuckle woke up. All the rest of the vine is bare of leaves, there's just that little bit of green and the cheerful clump of orange.
