By 1965, when Dorothea Tanning made Nue Couchée, she was working in France at a precise moment of transition in her artistic practice — past the figurative Surrealism of her 1940s paintings, moving toward the radical soft sculptures that would consume her from the late 1960s. The reclining nude, for her, was the experience of encountering the body as pure interiority — it is that moment of becoming that the figure dissolves into material altogether.
