I Saw Three Cities 1944

Katherine Linn Sage (June 25, 1898 - June 26, 1963), usually known as Kay Sage, was a Surrealist artist and poet. She was born in Albany, New York the second daughter of a prosperous upper middle class family, Henry Manning Sage and Annie Wheeler Ward. Much of her youth she spent traveling around Europe with her mother, a free spirit whose ample means allowed her to indulge an unquenchable wanderlust.

Sage settled down in Rapallo, Italy, to pursue art studies in Rome in the early 1920s. In 1924 she met Prince Ranieri di San Faustino, an Italian nobleman who became her first husband. But the life of the idle rich did not satisfy her; after ten years in the social circuit she would later call "a stagnant swamp," she separated from her husband and began to pursue her artistic ambitions in earnest.

Sage gravitated to Paris and became associated with the Surrealist movement. At first she was not precisely warmly regarded by the surrealists, probably less because of her womanhood (though they were a bit of a "boys' club") than because of her aristocratic, privileged background as the "Princess San Faustino." Around 1937 she was introduced to fellow painter Yves Tanguy by her friend Heinz Henghes and began a long-term relationship with him.

When Tanguy died in 1955, Sage was deeply affected. She painted less and less, her once witty poetry turned wry and cynical, and she became a virtual recluse. What little energy she could summon was spent mostly on defending Tanguy's work against the critics.

A first suicide attempt in 1959 failed. The second one succeeded, on January 8, 1963, three days after Tanguy's birthday. She was 64 years old.

Perhaps inevitably, critics have had a tendency to place Sage's paintings in the shadow of those of her husband Yves Tanguy. It is true that Sage's paintings, like those of her husband, show large, surreal landscapes, but the strange shapes that wander her worlds are as reminiscent of de Chirico as they are of Tanguy.

A comparison of, for instance, Sage's Tomorrow is Never, with its draped figures rising from the mist encased by scaffolding, and Tanguy's Multiplication des Arcs, with its milling crowds of pebbles oozing around glittering, jagged blocks of light, suggests two universes that are both rather alien from our own (at least in terms of exterior appearances), but at the same time also quite different from each other.
