A strong vintage print, one of the first that Kertesz took when he moved to Paris and reminiscent of his days in Hungary. 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 theater "Arc-en-Ciel" (Rainbow) in Montparnasse. It shows an almost surrealist image of these strange marionettes. Kertesz and his wife frequented the theater and called the two Hungarian puppeteers friends.
