Yves Tanguy, (born January 5, 1900, Paris, France—died January 15, 1955, Waterbury, Connecticut, U.S.), French-born American painter who worked in a Surrealist style.
After sailing with the French merchant marine, in 1922 Tanguy returned to Paris, where he worked odd jobs and began sketching in cafés. In 1923 a painting by Giorgio de Chirico that he saw in an art gallery made such a strong impression on him that he immediately took up painting. He joined the Surrealist group in 1925, and he subsequently participated in all the Surrealists’ major exhibitions.
Soon after joining the Surrealists, Tanguy began applying the principles of automatism to his paintings. Automatism involves creating spontaneous associations with no preconceived ideas; the Surrealists believed this technique could be used to express the workings of the unconscious mind. Like other Surrealist painters, Tanguy painted timeless, dreamlike landscapes, but his forms were completely invented, with no reference to reality. In works such as Shadow Country (1927), he depicted groups of imaginary objects that resemble marine invertebrates or sculpturesque rock formations. He painted these ambiguous forms with painstaking detail and set them in barren, brightly lit landscapes that have an infinite horizon.
Tanguy visited the United States in 1939 and settled there, becoming a U.S. citizen in 1948. After he moved to the United States, he used a more colourful palette, and he gave the objects in his paintings a more metallic appearance. André Breton, the founder of Surrealism, considered Tanguy to be the artist most faithful to Surrealist precepts.
