fun fact: 


digital description: 


wall description: 
These shop window mannequins decorated by Salvador Dalí and André Masson were among 20 lining a corridor entitled <em>The Most Beautiful Streets of Paris</em> in the 1938 International Surrealist Exhibition in Paris. The show, which included work by 60 artists from 14 countries and heralded the movement’s broad reach and acceptance into mainstream culture, was a newsworthy event and garnered coverage in the popular press. One article included the image by Paris on view here. Ubac was there as both photojournalist and artist; his photography was hanging in another section of the exhibition.
