Georges Hugnet's LA VIE AMOUREUSE DES SPUMIFERES, a book of surreal photographic images, published in Paris, 2011. Created in the 1940s by surrealist artist, writer and publisher Georges Hugnet, the fantasy "spumiferes" creatures were painted on the surface of classic 1920s French, real photo postcards. The ensuing amorous menagerie were first made public in this marvelous and now allusive volume which immediately sold-out at publication. Hugnet's legacy includes the iconic La Septieme Face du De, Huit Jour a Trebeaumec and the 1937 set of surrealist postcards. Click here for more about Hugnet and the surrealist postcards.
