A strong vintage image, one of the first that Kertesz took when he moved to Paris and reminiscent of his days in Hungary. This image is a part of a small group that relate to the avant-garde puppeteers Geza Blattner and his assistant Sandor Toth and their experimental marionnette theatre "Arc-en-Ciel" (Rainbow) in Montparnasse. This image of marionettes borders on the surreal. Kertesz and his wife frequented the theater and called the two Hungarian puppeteers friends. Illustrated: S.A. Toth, "Peintre, Marionnettiste a Montparnasse." Kertesz is one of the great modernist photographers of this century.
