Surreal Artist Couples

and some trios too, in the MODERN COUPLES exhibition at Barbican Art Gallery.
At the entrance one is told  that labels and text panels may be photographed, but not artworks.  this is very common, so not surprising.  But inside the paucity of artworks is surprising - and disappointing too, as the display is large and on two floors.  
There are in fact more labels and panels than artworks, together with much ephemera, snapshots, pamphlets and archive material -  all fascinating in its own right, but visually dull.  One feels it will be better to read the book than plod round the 23 'rooms'  showcasing 46 'couples',  all from first half of 20th century  and many very surrealist.

So  a great cheer for Toboggan Couple by Lavinia Schutz and Walter Holdt [1920-24]  kitted out in quasi ski-suits
