Résumé
This article analyses the composition of two surrealist photomontages dedicated to Germaine Berton and the Papin sisters. By situating them in the history of photographic portraiture and by taking into account the political positioning of the surrealist group, the text seeks to demonstrate that these montages, while furthering their political radicalism, were in fact profoundly conservative in aesthetic terms, drawing for example on relations of dominance based on class and gender.
