ENDGAME 2020 – DIOLCH THANKS DOROTHEA TANNING, WHO CELEBRATED THE ‘UNGIRDING’ EVENT IN HER OWN UNIQUE WAY IN THIS BRILLIANT PAINTING

“The Queen is represented by the white satin slipper that is literally stomping out the Bishop. The Queen dominates—not the King … It is nice Surrealist trope, because they’re (Dorothea and Ernst) against the traditional family. And you have a trompe l’oeil detail in the corner, as if the chessboard has been ripped open and you have a landscape where the Queens is going to run away to.” – Javier Pes 4 March 2019
