kamagraph

Max Emst, the well-known dada and surrealist painter; Edouard Pignon, a French abstractionist; and the late René Magritte, the extraordinary Belgian surrealist who died this year, have all executed special work for the kamagraph.

Each kamagraph looks as though the artist had painted it by hand. The French call this type of work a “multi-original,” because the machine can work only with a painting painted for it on a specially treated canvas plaque.
