Biography:
Married Eluard in 1934.
Nusch Éluard was associated with the Surrealists during the 1930s.
Model for Man Ray and author of a series of photomontages
between 1934 and 1936.
She died of a massive stroke on November 28, 1946. Her young life ended as she collapsed on a Parisian street.
Collages published in 1978 by Editions
Nadada, New York.
During the war the Eluards remained in Paris while many Surrealists were in
America. Both were active in the Resistance, and Nusch often walked the streets of
Paris with large bonbon boxes full of Communist tracts and subversive poems.
Lee Miller, a war correspondent for Conde Nast publications, arrived in
Paris in 1944 and photographed the Eluards in their apartment.

Clubs in a deck of Surrealist playing cards that also included Jacqueline Lamba as
the Knave of Hearts.
