About Kay Sage worth describing in more detail.
Born to a wealthy American family. In childhood and adolescence with her mother many puteshestvolala in Europe, studied at prestigious institutions. In 1920 settled in Italy, where she studied art. In 1925, became the wife of the Duke Ranieri di San Faustino. Ten years later the marriage broke up (Kay later call this marriage "stand-up marsh). In 1937, Kay goes to Paris to pursue a career artist. Here she met with the Surrealists and meets her future husband - Yves Tanguy. After the war, returned to the United States and helps to move there with a friend-surrealist. In 1940, Sage and Tanguy were married. After the death of Tanga in 1955 became a recluse and drew less. Deep depression led in 1959 to attempt suicide: Kay tried to poison herself with sleeping pills. In the last years of his life the artist began to lose sight (glaucoma), made a few transactions that were unsuccessful. January 8, 1963, three days after the birth of Yves Tanguy, committed suicide with a gunshot to the heart. On the testament of its ashes, along with the ashes of Yves Tanguy, Pierre Matisse was scattered off the coast of Brittany.
Kay Sage is the author of several books of poetry.

"I have built an ivory tower of despair ... I scream, I scream ... In my ivory tower".
(I built a tower of ivory, hopelessness ... I'm screaming, I'm screaming ... in my ivory tower ").

Critics often think of creativity as the shadow of Kay Sage Tanguy creativity. But is it enough to look closely at her paintings, to understand their autonomy. These are two different universes, equally distant from each other, as well as from our world.
