About The Artist
Ré Soupault, born Erna Niemeyer in Pomerania in 1901, worked at the Bauhaus in Weimar while still a student between 1921 and 1925. Through her first husband, the Dadaist and film artist Hans Richter, she met Man Ray and Sergei Eisenstein, among others. In 1931, she founded her first fashion studio, Ré Sport, in Paris. She met her future husband, Philippe Soupault, in the circle of the Parisian artistic avant-garde. From the mid-1930s onwards, she undertook numerous trips through Europe and America with him, accompanying his reportages with her photography. Returning to Europe in 1948, she worked as a translator and radio author. She died in Paris in 1996.
