The Surrealist painter and woodcut artist Kurt Seligmann also excelled in set design, creating costumes and scenery. His fantastic and anthropomorphic imagery is a testament to the typically Surrealist examination of deformed visions arising from the subconscious, and to the rich Swiss-German figurative tradition. This drawing sketches a costume for the ballet The Golden Fleece, shortly after the premier of which, in 1941, Seligmann met Peggy Guggenheim. Guggenheim once owned a drawing by Seligmann entitled The Youth of the Count Gabalis, also from 1941. She exhibited a collage by him in the Exhibition of Collage at her museum-gallery Art of This Century in New York in spring 1943. This was the first international collage exhibition to be held in the United States.
