Painted in 1952, Dorothea Tanning's 'The Guest Room' presents a surreal and unsettling scene, with a young girl, a veiled figure, and a couple in bed creating a disquieting atmosphere.
Dorothea Tanning (1910-2012) was an American painter, sculptor, writer, and poet. Although her early work was influenced by Surrealism, she developed a distinctive style that explored themes of sexuality, identity, and the subconscious. She was married to the Surrealist artist Max Ernst in 1946, and their relationship influenced both their artistic output. Tanning continued to create art well into her later years, and her work has been exhibited in major museums around the world. 'The Guest Room', painted in 1952, presents a disquieting interior scene. A young girl stands naked in the foreground, her expression unreadable. Behind her, a figure in an orange shirt and cowboy boots, face obscured by a draped cloth, stands amidst scattered eggshells. In the background, a couple lies in bed beneath a draped canopy, while a veiled figure stands watch. The composition is unsettling, with its juxtaposition of innocence and menace, domesticity and the uncanny. The muted colour palette and precise brushwork contribute to the painting's dreamlike atmosphere.

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.
