Tanguy (täN-gê´), Yves
1900-1955
French-born American surrealist painter whose works include Indefinite Divisibility (1942) and _Chess Set_ (1950).

Tanguy, Yves (1900-1955), French-American painter, born in Paris and self-trained (autodidact). In 1925 he became one of the surrealists. Tanguy's paintings of strange, fantastic bones and amoebalike shapes, arranged in flat, lifeless, and imaginary landscapes, quickly won recognition. His figures were smoothly painted in clear colors with painstaking detail. He moved to the United States in 1939 and later became a U.S. citizen.
