Telberg, who worked closely with Anias Nin and illustrated her 1961 paperback edition of House of Incest. Miller makes reference to China where Telberg spent the greater part of his childhood and adolescence. During the 1940’s he began studies at the Art Students League, working with Morris Kantor, Julian Levy, and George Grosz. It was here that he began to develop his own photographic voice, combining photography with dream imagery and the subconscious. He was heavily influenced by Jean Cocteau, Max Ernst, Dali and other early surrealists. Val. Telberg shared a similar world view with Anias Nin, and together they would collaborate on several projects.
