There’s more to this Birthday than meets the eye 👀⁠
⁠
Dorothea Tanning’s drawing revisits her iconic 1942 self-portrait of the same name—right down to the winged lemur, tilted wooden floors, and doors opening into the unknown!⁠
⁠
Instead of a full self-portrait, this work shows just a foot poised to step into the scene, pointing toward a page bearing the work’s title.⁠
⁠
These strange, familiar interiors became a signature of Tanning’s work! She called them “big bare rooms,” inviting viewers to find mystery within the familiar ✨⁠
⁠
With Tanning, there’s always another door to open...🚪⁠

Happy Birthday, Leonor Fini! 🎉 (1907-1996)⁠
⁠
Born in Buenos Aires and raised in Trieste, Italy, Leonor Fini was fiercely independent from an early age. Largely self-taught, Fini moved to Paris in 1931 and quickly became an influential figure among Surrealists and Dadaists!⁠
⁠
Known to depict sphinxes and commanding female figures, her "The Shepherdess of the Sphinxes" (1941) was a standout piece in Guggenheim's 1943 Exhibition by 31 Women and remains on display at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice today 🖼️⁠
⁠
This cat lover went far beyond the typical cute painting! Her sexy cats make us wonder if she and Andrew Lloyd Webber were friends... ⁠

Happy birthday to the one and only Peggy Guggenheim! 🎂🎉⁠
⁠
Born on this day in 1898, Peggy Guggenheim was an heiress who used her privilege to shape art HERstory as we know it today 🙌 ⁠
⁠
In 1943, The 31 Women's story starts with her. Guggenheim debuted "Exhibition by 31 Women," the first documented all-female exhibition in the United States, at her museum-gallery, Art Of This Century!⁠
⁠
The first-of-its-kind exhibition challenged the status quo and inspired The 31 Women Collection, which works to sharpie these groundbreaking contributions into art history more than 80 years later ✍️⁠
⁠
On her birthday, Women’s Equality Day, AND National Dog Day, we’re celebrating a woman who lived boldly, bet on women, and really, really loved her dogs ❤️ HBD, Peggy! ⁠

Happy birthday to Dorothea Tanning! 💐 (1910-2012)⁠
⁠
Born in Illinois and largely self-taught, Tanning is remembered as one of Surrealism’s great shape-shifters. Her century-long life included painting, sculpture, installation, and literature! ⁠
⁠
Her inclusion in Peggy Guggenheim’s "Exhibition by 31 Women" in 1943 changed the course of her career and her life, when Max Ernst (then-husband of Guggenheim) visited her studio to select work and fell in love with her!⁠
⁠
Swipe for a little Surrealist history: Tanning and Ernst shared a double wedding with Man Ray and Juliet Man Ray in Beverly Hills in 1946 💍 Four artists, two couples, one very good story!⁠
⁠
Cheers to Dorothea, endlessly evolving and endlessly herself 🎉⁠

POV: Your studio is on the Grand Canal 🛶⁠
⁠
Pegeen Vail is known for colorful, dreamlike work that drew from the world around her—and "On the Grand Canal" brings that especially close to home!⁠
⁠
The vibrant pastel and gouache artwork depicts Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, Peggy Guggenheim’s home on Venice’s Grand Canal. Pegeen spent years in Venice and maintained her own studio in the palazzo’s basement 🎨⁠
⁠
Surrounded by art history, Pegeen was busy making her own 🥰⁠

It’s Pegeen Vail’s birthday! 🎂⁠
⁠
Born in Switzerland to Peggy Guggenheim and artist Laurence Vail, Pegeen grew up surrounded by some of the biggest names in modern art. Want to know more? Stay tuned! 👀⁠
⁠
From an early age, Vail was carving out a creative identity of her own. At just 12, she exchanged artwork with Yves Tanguy and later formed a close friendship with artist Leonora Carrington!⁠
⁠
Vail held her first solo exhibition at Art of This Century in 1946 and went on to exhibit internationally, primarily in Milan and Venice 🇮🇹 Her colorful, dreamlike scenes may look playful at first glance, but reveal something much more personal beneath the surface.⁠
⁠
Today, we celebrate an artist whose work continues to claim its rightful place in art history 🦋 (1925-1967)⁠

Happy birthday, Xenia Cage! 🎉 (1913–1995)⁠

Tlingit culture and personal resilience that would carry through her creative career as a surrealist sculptor and painter.⁠
⁠
