What is it about?
Valentine Gross Hugo (1887-1968), an artist remembered for her illustrations in surrealist poetry and edited collections, started her career decades earlier contributing to magazines like Art et Décoration, La Revue Archéologique, Le Mercure Musical, Comoedia Illustré, La Gazette du Bon Ton, and La Revue Musicale. Examining her textual and visual commentaries on the Ballets Russes, her theories on modern dance, and her designs for fashion and theater, this article demonstrates how Hugo’s unique interpretations contributed to early 20th century French journalistic culture and shaped the reception of modernism in France.
