Please help me identify the name of this artist!?

Question

I am looking for the name of a female artist - her paintings are quite surreal. Often they depict a rather normal scene (like a young girl standing in a corridor) but then there would be some giant flowers sticking out of the ground and walls! I know she is a relatively recent painter. Its a bit random but if anyone can help I'd be so grateful!

Answer 1

Dorothea Tanning, painting is (from what I have to go on) 'Eine Kliene Nachtmusik' - A Little Night Music. She painted it in 1943 and it is in the Tate Modern, London. Hope this is the one you're looking for.

Answer 2

i wish you could put a picture of it. But good luck finding her. Base on your description of the the painting, it looks like a good painting. It's simple but it has a beautiful meaning. Good luck!

Answer 3

Could you possibly mean Georgia O'Keefe?  She did loads of giant flowers among other surreal subjects.  She died in the latter part of the 20th century.  I don't remember the exact date.  Grams
