Dorothea Tanning, painter, sculptor and poet, born 25 August 1910; died 31 January 2012
It seems that more and more of those that have inspired me are dying -- perhaps this is the real tragedy of aging. I hope that like Dorothea, I can make it to 101.

from a great interview back in 2002
Dorothea Tanning, painter, sculptor, writer and wife of Max Ernst, counsels young artists: "Keep your eye on your inner world and keep away from ads, idiots and movie stars."
