Takes Two to Tanguy: Kay Sage & Yves Tanguy
Join Zak and Lianne as they dive into the turbulent intertwined lives of Surrealists Yves Tanguy and Kay Sage. We’ll explore Tanguy’s humble beginnings as a merchant sailor with no formal artistic training, Sage’s brief stint as an actual princess, how a single painting brought them together, and one bird ushered their tragic demise. We’ll also cover their masterpieces, including “I Am Waiting For You” and “Tomorrow is Never”.
