3sat-Kulturzeit just presented an exhibition on surrealism in the Swiss town of Winterthur. Among the pictures is this one of three artists (one of them, I believe, is Max Ernst, but I can't read the other names) having fun with a "Photomaton", a photo box that started to appear in Paris in the mid-1920s. One features prominently in "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain", but I had no idea how far back they go. It's such a random shot of three people, but at the same time, there is something so.... strangely lovely about this, I can't quite describe it. It looks so contemporary, like something a friend might have pinned to their wall, yet it was shot in the 1920s.
...
With just a bit of research: the other two people in the photograph are Marie-Berthe Aurenche, who became Ernst's wife in 1927, and her brother, Jean Aurenche.
