# I don't recognise the name.
Thanks for the pointer - a quick Google finds several references to her double-exposure "cat and I" photo - as you say, very proto-b3ta.
I will make a mental note to investigate further.

# i'm not entirely sure there's that much more of her stuff
that's quite so b3tan, but that one image is particularly striking.

# for proper 1st generation photo-montage...
check out John Heartfield and the Berlin Dadaists. The FIRST photoshoppers, pre-dating the surrealists by a good couple years.

# Heartfield seems a bit crude and preachy, after all this time.
A lot of the political stuff is at the level of the Bush=monkey images - and was evidently similarly ineffective.
But I agree that it was very innovative at the time.
