Fanny Brennan

Fanny Myers Brennan (1921 – July 22, 2001) was a French-American surrealist artist and painter.

Brennan was born in Paris, educated in the United States and Europe and enrolled in an art school in France in 1938.

Brennan's paintings are typically in miniature format and frequently combine domestic objects such as buttons with landscapes. The art critic Celia McGee said of her paintings that "Brennan's magic‐realist canvases—in which landscapes are literally put in a nutshell, a feather duster is taken to Mount Fuji, a spool of ribbon unwinds into a road, and scale and gravity are turned on their heads—are never larger than six square inches."

Her portrait was drawn by Alberto Giacometti. She died on July 22, 2001, in New York City.
