This article reviews the exhibition at the Zabriskie Gallery, "Georges Hugnet (1906-1974): Collages." It describes Hugnet's talents as a collage artist, poet, photographer, art historian of Dada and Surrealism, film writer, playwright and publisher. Vicki Goldberg points out how the Surrealist impulse can still be found in the collage of 20th century life with the images of the urban street, TV surfing and computer special effects all infiltrating our visual environment. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

A brief biography and an illustration of the Surrealist artist Claude Cahun are included in this review. Cahun's book "Aveux non Avenu," held by the Sackner Archive, is described as a book of meditation, aphorisms and personal philosophies. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
