Tanguy, Yves (1900–1955)
French painter. He lived in the USA from 1939. A leading surrealist, he created dreamlike desert landscapes peopled by metallic, semi-abstract forms casting long shadows.
Self-taught, Tanguy was first inspired to paint by the works of de Chirico and in 1925 he joined the surrealist movement. He soon developed his characteristic style with bizarre, slender forms in a typically surrealist wasteland.
