Blood Machine (recto); Untitled (verso)
<p>Born in Albany, New York, Kay Sage studied art in Washington, D.C., Rome, and later in Paris, joining the Surrealist movement in 1937. She returned to New York at the outbreak of Work War II with her husband, fellow Surrealist Yves Tanguy. Created after their move to rural Connecticut in 1942, <em>Blood Machine</em> was a gift to their neighbor, Judson Darrow, a friend and gunsmith.</p>
