Throughout the 1930s Gaston Paris 1903-1964 was one of the pillars of the weekly magazine "Vu" founded in 1928 by Lucien Vogel. The only salaried photographer he shared the magazine's pages with Laure Albin-Guillot Germaine Krull André Kertész Martin Munkacsi Man Ray and Robert Capa. Alongside his reports and portraits of artists and celebrities of the time he produced strange photographic series inspired by surrealism work which appeared in "Detective magazine" from the 1930s to the 1950s to illustrate its stories of gangsters and femmes fatales. His archives were purchased by the Agence Roger-Viollet shortly after his death. In 1934 Pierre Boucher 1908-2000 founds with René Zuber the Alliance-Photo agency that delivers the first deontology of photography and enhances the importance of photographers' signatures. Multidisciplinary the French photographer explores the avant-garde aesthetic with surrealist nudes photograms collages and solarizations. He also produces more commercial works illustrating advertisements and books such as Emile Allais' French Skiing Method. Wols was the pseudonym of Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze 1913-1951 a German painter and photographer predominantly active in France. Though broadly unrecognized in his lifetime he is considered a pioneer of Lyrical Abstraction one of the most influential artists of the Tachisme movement.
