8. Info (Slide Work in Progress) Jacques Prévert, in around 1924 Tanguy was introduced into the circle of surrealist artists around André Breton Tanguy's older work even showed some reference to Chirico (Metaphysical). Metaphysical: Movement created by Chirico -dream like paintings of squares typical of idealized Itilian Cities as well as objects beyond physical reality. His Mama, Papa Is Wounded! (1927),was a title taken from a psychiatric case history. Tanguy's style consists of bonelike and vegetable objects either airborn or on the ground. In 1930-1931, Tanguy took a trip to Africa and began drawing rocklike objects which were harshly lighted. But once he returned, he went back to his older style though by the mid-1930s he usually omitted the fixed horizon line and presented a continuous floating space. Tanguy married another surrealist artist named Kay sage. When they moved to America, his paintings gained richer colors and the objects began to grow larger. They moved to America in 1939 to get away from the events in World War II. Several paintings, such as Indefinite Divisibility (1942) contain tubular,geometrical constructions (along with the organic elements) which suggest the world of machines. Partially due to a trip to Arizona. http://ic.galegroup.com/ic/bic1/ReferenceDetailsPage/ReferenceDetailsWindow?displayGroupName=K12-Reference&prodId=BIC1&action=e&windowstate=normal&catId=&documentId=GALE%7CA148425729&mode=view
