Om maleriet

In this surreal composition, a pre-adolescent girl—whose mismatched clothing suggests she has been playing dress-up—interrupts her game of musical chairs by daydreaming into a realm where imagination reigns free. Defying logic, she sinks into a sea of fabric that in turn swells up behind her into a haphazard arrangement of folds. Artist Dorothea Tanning started her career as a fashion illustrator, launching a lifelong interest in the expressive qualities of cloth.
