This rare book provides an in-depth account of the biography and life of Valentine Hugo (née Gross), a key figure of Surrealism, from her childhood in Boulogne to her death in 1968, taking in her collaborations with the Ballets Russes (Nijinsky, Picasso, Cocteau, Satie), her marriage to Jean Hugo, her involvement with Dada and subsequently Surrealism, and her close ties to André Breton, Paul Éluard, René Char, Max Ernst, and Man Ray.
The book highlights the versatility of her work : paintings, engravings, surrealist pencil drawings, sets and costumes for theater, ballet and film, illustrations of Rimbaud, Lautréamont, Sade or Achim von Arnim, as well as his participation in exquisite corpse games. Enriched with essays by Victoria Combalía, Dominique Rabourdin and Nadine Ribault, it abounds with exceptional archival documents : correspondence, private photographs, inscribed manuscripts (including André Breton’s *Les Vases communicants*), and masks created for avant-garde balls. A treasure trove for collectors of Surrealist art, enthusiasts of modern art history, and lovers of rare exhibition catalogs. Treat yourself or someone special to this essential volume in pristine condition, a true immersion into the fascinating world of an avant-garde artist underestimated for too long.
