Notes:Tabard was one of the leading photographers of the Surrealist movement, which he entered under the influence of his friend, American photographer Man Ray. In 1928, Tabard returned to Paris becoming a fashion photographer. It was here he met Surrealist writer, Philippe Soupault, who in turn acquainted him with various prominent magazine editors including Lucien Vogel, Giron & Alexey Brodovitch. He went on to work for a number of publications, such as Bifur, Vu & Le Jardin des Modes. He made the acquaintance of Surrealists Man Ray & René Magritte, with his work beginning to reflect the influence of Surrealism. In the late 1920s, he met Roger Parry, whom he taught photography & André Kertész. In 1951 Francis Quirk curated an exhibit of his work at Lehigh University along with photographs by Ansel Adams
