Valentine Hugo
Valentine Hugo studied painting in Paris and in 1919 married Jean Hugo, great-grandson of Victor Hugo. She collaborated with him on designs for ballets, including Jean Cocteau's Les mariés de la Tour Eiffel (1921). In 1926, she executed 24 wood engravings after maquettes by Jean Hugo for Romeo and Juliet. She met the Surrealists around 1928 and actively participated in the movement between 1930 and 1936. The foremost illustrator of Paul Éluard’s work, she first exhibited with the Surrealists in the Salon des surindépendants of 1933. A retrospective exhibition of her work was held at the Centre Culturel Thibaud De Champagne, Troyes, in 1977.
