The images to the right are photomontages on spiral notebook paper, selections from a set of 33 photomontage images collaboratively produced by surrealist artists André Breton, Paul Éluard & Suzanne Muzard around between 1928 and 1931. The Individual authorship is impossible to attribute, as the collages were only discovered (in a spiral bound notebook ) when Breton's estate went up for auction was dispersed in 2003, thirty-seven years after his death. These images were made in the spirit of the surrealist exquisite corpse, demonstrating cut-up collage, collaborative authorship, and found materials. More images from the series are available here [[https://www.ubugallery.com/exhibitions/33-collages/ here], and you can read more about the series [https://brooklynrail.org/2012/09/artseen/andr-breton-paul-luard-susanne-muzard-33-collages here].
