The images to the right are selections from a set of 33 photomontage images produced collaboratively by surrealist artists André Breton, Paul Éluard & , and Suzanne Muzard between 1928 and 1931. Individual authorship is impossible to attribute, as these images were discovered (in a spiral bound notebook) when Breton's estate was dispersed in 2003, thirty-seven years after his death. Technically, the photomontages are composed of cut-out photographs glued to notebook paper, in some cases colored with analine dye. These images are made in the spirit of the Surrealist exquisite corpse: demonstrating collaborative authorship, cut-up collage, and the use of found materials. Further images in the series are available [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].
