this is the other artist I have been looking at her works.
1930
Catherine Marie-Agnès Fal de Saint Phalle was born at Neuilly-sur-Seine on October 29. She is the second of five children born to Jeanne Jacqueline née Harper and André Marie Fal de Saint Phalle. Her father is one of seven brothers with a share in the family’s banking house. When the stock exchange collapsed in 1930, he lost both the business and his fortune. Marie-Agnès is sent to her paternal grandparents in France where she spends the next three years in Nièvre. http://www.nikidesaintphalle.com/
The Tarot Garden in Tuscany is considered Niki de Saint Phalle’s life, 1979 work.http://nikidesaintphalle.org/
She says the following: ‘I owe thanks to the Tarot for offering me a better understanding of the spiritual world and problems of life – as well as the insight that every difficulty must be solved… to ultimately reach an inner unity and the garden of paradise’. (Catalogue of Exhibition in 1999, Ulm, Germany, quote from German original, p.96).
