Dorothea Tanning's "Portefeuille (Pocketbook)" is a surrealist oil painting featuring a door opening into a book, with a woman standing behind it. The artwork evokes a sense of mystery and invites contemplation.
Dorothea Tanning (1910-2012) was an American painter, sculptor, writer, and poet. Her early work was influenced by Surrealism, and she later developed a more individual style. Tanning's work often explores themes of dreams, desire, and the subconscious. She was married to the Surrealist artist Max Ernst for 30 years. In "Portefeuille (Pocketbook)", Tanning presents a dreamlike scene. A red door, rendered with realistic detail, stands slightly ajar, revealing the pages of an open book. A woman in a long, flowing dress stands just behind the door, partially obscured. The background is an abstract field of red, with a strip of blue at the top. The painting's composition and colour palette create a sense of mystery and unease, inviting the viewer to contemplate the hidden narratives within the image.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
