Footnotes:
In...Bateau Bleu, the female has become fully conscious, even hyper-alert, and stands upright, centered in the cave-like scene. Symbols - her attributes - abound, including a watch (time is suspended in the unconscious), an eye with two pupils (the inner eye sees more) and a nest of eggs (emblem of creativity - birth)...
-Donald Kuspit, 'The Amorphousness of Being Other,' essay for Dorothea Tanning: Hail Delirium!, Waddell & Ruby, New York Public Library, New York, 1992.
