Initially, he served in the navy (1920-22), where he made the acquaintance of the poet Jacques Prévert and also served in Tunisia. He came closer to art through the knowledge of De Chirico’s art and trained himself as an autodidact. The important encounter with the group of the Surrealists took place in 1925, whose ideas and principles he joined immediately. In 1927 the Galerie Surréaliste in Paris hosted his first solo exhibition. Tanguy travelled to Africa in 1930. He emigrated to the US in 1939, where he married the American painter Kay Sage in 1939 and became a US citizen in 1948. His works are part of many museum collections, among other of the MoMA, New York and Musée d'Art Moderne, Paris. (tm) Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
