After relationships with Georges Hugnet and André Breton, Lila Ferry was the lover of Oscar Dominguez from 1936 to 1938. She met, in that same year 1938, the writer-screenwriter Jean Lévy, a specialist in Raymond Roussel and Satrap of the College of Pataphysics. A hub for surrealist meetings, the Café at Place Blanche hosted, in 1935, Dominguez's first attempts at decalcomania. This exhibition created a wave of enthusiasm and marked the history of the surrealist movement.

"In 1935, feeling isolated, Dominguez wrote to Breton. He asked him if he could attend the meetings of the surrealist group.

These took place at the Café de la Place Blanche, where we would meet with Breton, Dalí, Tanguy, Ernst... Dominguez quickly got into the habit of joining us."
