(January 30, 1923 – July 23, 2020)
What an impact Dorothy Tanner had on people she met and that experienced her art! Dorothy was born 100 years ago today.
“Light has the power to create, define, and solidify; or leave in shadow that which we believe to be real.”
“The major challenge for me in art is to keep under control the tyranny of a logical mind. The spirit that moves me is capricious, unruly and irreverent. Most of my work grows out of intuitive impulse–the rest gets underway by just playing.”
