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.

never really captivated him with its integrity. When you look at how he wrote the body, can be questioned, whether he was interested in his forms. He loved women, but only noticed the deformed body, like fabric, but not copy them. ...

Separating it needs, it decomposes all - color, as well as light. Thus, freeing the face of all the diverse, condensing into a single all scattered, he could draw without outlines, to make portraits of almost no visible features, to write without color ...

It is impossible in the plastic art to go beyond the knowledge of being in itself. Physical beauty, he replaced the spiritual expression, play things - an almost complete transformation of their studies - psychological speculation, precise, skilful, or naive observation - a clairvoyant insights and visions, which he believed so sincerely, that he deceived. Thanks to this gift of double vision, intuition, this lunatic in the supernatural, he sees farther than anyone else. Life that he dreams, bears the imprint of a different world, making real life almost cold and pale.

The ideal of it, like sleep, which they see with their eyes closed - is light: a halo around objects, phosphorescent glow on a black background. All this is vague, uncertain, ephemeral and dazzling, consists of subtle shapes, ready to disappear before the artist to secure them. Stop the vision to move it to the canvas and give it form, shape, save the fragile fabric, provide gloss - and as a result of a strong, courageous and thorough painting, no less real than any other ...

... This imaginary artist of the material world, was in reality a pure spiritualist, say more precisely, an artist of ideas, it means a person whose area - an idea whose language - the language of ideas.

In this passage, the name of the artist, I replaced the pronoun "he" to give you pleasure to guess about what the famous surrealist, analytics, mysticism and conceptualist in a single person in question here.

These words of Eugene Fromentin, written around 1876. - A good comment to calls made recently at the forum believed that the "classical paintings, ranging from old masters ... meant by a mere image of the story ... ... is nothing more than to bring these works can not. ... Idea is to principle is always the same: the image situation. "

I shall not fail to put these teachings among the newly-examining the way, though it may seem trivial and almost ludicrous, yet it is very useful to encourage the mind to various inventions. Examined the walls, stained different spots, or stones of different mixtures. If you need to invent any terrain, where you can see different kind of scenery, a variety of ways adorned with mountains, rivers, rocks, trees, vast plains, valleys and hills, in addition, you can see there are different battlefield, rapid movements of strange shapes , facial expressions, clothing, and an infinite number of things that you can reduce to a solid and good form, with such walls and blends is the same as with the ringing of a bell: it strikes you will find any name or word that you currently imagine.
Do not despise it for my opinion, which I'll remind you that you let does not seem onerous to stop sometimes and look at the stains on the wall, or on the ashes of a fire, or clouds, or mud, or other similar places where if you consider them carefully, you will find amazing find, koimi the mind of the painter is encouraged by new discoveries, whether to compositions battles humans or animals or to the different compositions of landscapes and monstrous things, such as: the devils and similar fantasies. All this will cause your glory.

But the story and the mood of his paintings are far from realism. In his works Balthus created a distinctive, poluprizrachny the world, balancing on the border of dream and reality.

The action (or rather inaction) of paintings, slowly, as if in a dream, unfolding in a rigorous, half-empty interior: looks of the audience brought their young the inmates in seductive poses, sleeping or mechatyuischie, idly playing with a cat or a melancholy view their reflection in the mirror. It should be noted that the legacy of Freud has had a significant impact on the development of art of the twentieth century, and since the mid 20th was actively claimed Surrealist painters and their circle. Muzynaya His first exhibition was held in 1956 in Ny-York, the Museum of Modern Art. He worked for the theater, which was reflected in his paintings, often constructed as a mise en scene. His works are in major museums around the world.
