Val Telburg
Born in Russia in 1910, Telberg (1910-1995, born Vladimir Telberg-von-Telheim) left for the U.S. in 1928. He worked as a maker of comic photographs at an amusement park. He was influenced by the surrealists when they arrived in New York at the start of the Second World War. Telberg began serious photography in 1945, using recombination and cinematic overlays, sometimes making large mural-sized prints. His photographs illustrated a 1958 U.S. re-issue of Anais Nin's slim dream-journal House of Incest (1936, 1947 in English) by Swallow Press.
