Valentine Hugo was a French artist and one of the few women at the heart of the Surrealist movement. She became known primarily for her significant work with the Ballets Russes—a work of hers hung in the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées during Igor Stravinsky’s infamous debut of The Rite of Spring—and her participation in the Surrealist game of Exquisite Corpse that produced a number of remarkable, collaborative drawings and collages.
