Vêtues de bijoux et de soie, deux courtisanes traversent la Suburre. Le ciel blanc, la pierre blanche, en plein soleil. Elles s'approchent l'une de l'autre, et malgré l'immensité de la place déserte, elles s'effleurent en passant.
Dressed in jewels and silk, two courtesans cross the Suburra. The white sky, the white stone, under the sun. They move closer to each other, and despite the immensity of the empty plaza, they graze each other in passing.
– Claude Cahun.
Claude Cahun, born Lucy Schwob in 1894, was a french surrealist poet and photographer. Both political and personal, her work reflects androgyny, dismantling gender norms. She wrote : "Neuter is the only gender that always suits me."
Lesbian and Jewish, she engaged in the resistance movement alongside her romantic and creative partner Marcel Moore (née Suzanne Malherbe), illustrator and photographer, creating together anti-nazi fliers and pamphlets under the pseudonym Der Soldat Ohne Namen (The Soldier With No Name), made to discourage germans troops. They would dress up and strategically hide those fliers for German soldiers to find.
Cahun and Moore lived together on the island of Jersey where Cahun died in 1954, aged 60, of a cardiac arrest.

Claude Cahun
Vanessa, our illustration blogger, changed her views on the value of studying art history over the past few years studying art in college and fell in love the the gender bending images of Surrealist photographer Claude Cahun #MarywoodArt #ArtHistory
When I first realized I had to take art history courses in order to complete my Bachelor of Arts in Illustration degree, I was admittedly dejected. I just didn’t see the point in looking to the past nor did I understand how it would enhance my artistic skills. Now that I’ve taken four art history courses, I’ve come to realize that I am fascinated by art history and all that there is to know about…

De l’Eros surréaliste à l’androgynie avec Claude Cahun
« Je sens comme si je les voyais, mes cuisses maigrir d’une sueur de fièvre, douche parfois brulante, parfois glacée, toujours inattendue. Mes genoux vidés, les os dissous, vêtu d’un parchemin lucide, se gonflent, flottante vessies de porc. Mon cœur alenti sonne un glas funèbre, puis bat bruyamment comme un tocsin. Il devient mobile, se promène dans mon ventre, y éclate en coliques profondes. À chaque secousse, une conscience tombe, pulvérisée. Peu à peu, je m’allège. Bref répit ! Mon cœur se gonfle outrageusement et s’emplit d’hydrogène. Gros ballon rouge et bleu, il monte au bout d’un fil.

[Oltre lo specchio][Silvia Mazzucchelli]
Oltre lo specchio di Silvia Mazzucchelli introduce ai lettori italiani la figura di Claude Cahun e la sua tensione allo scardinamento dei riferimenti culturali e sociali.
Claude Cahun (1894-1954) è un’artista, fotografa e scrittrice vissuta nella Francia della prima metà del Novecento, in pieno fervore surrealista. Al centro della sua ricerca artistica e letteraria vi sono i temi dell’identità, del superamento dei confini di genere e delle proprie origini ebraiche in un contesto sociale fortemente antisemita. Nei suoi scatti radicali ed enigmatici ritrae se stessa…

Claude Cahun (Lucy Schwob), La vitrine de chaussures (shoe showcase), London, 1936
Claude Cahun (French pronunciation: [klod ka.œ̃], born Lucy Renee Mathilde Schwob; 25 October 1894 – 8 December 1954) was a French surrealist. Lucy Schwob was a writer, actress, and outspoken member of the Parisian lesbian community between the two world wars. She and Suzanne Malherbe, her stepsister, became partners in life, love, and art, and took the ambiguously gendered pseudonyms Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore for their collaborative theatrical and photographic works. The images they made mostly depict Cahun, and sometimes Moore, in a variety of masculine, androgynous, and feminine personas set in minimally staged scenes in their home. (x)
Claude Cahun and his companion Suzanne Malherbe accompanied Jacqueline Lamba and André Breton to London during the first international exhibition of surrealism, organized by David Gascoyne, Roland Penrose and ELT Mesens, inaugurated on June 11, 1936.

Liberated: The Radical Art and Life of Claude Cahun by Kaz Rowe
Tumblr media
Illustrator Kaz Rowe’s graphic biography Liberated: The Radical Art and Life of Claude Cahun, reveals how the creative and courageous Surrealist artist championed freedom at every turn, from rejecting gender norms and finding queer love to risking death to sabotage the Nazis.
At the turn of the 20th century in Nantes, France, Lucy Schwob met Suzanne Malherbe, and lightning struck. The two became partners both artistically and romantically and transformed themselves into the creative personas Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore. Together, the couple embarked on a radical journey of Surrealist collaboration that would take them from conservative provincial France to the vibrancy of 1920s Paris to the oppression of Nazi-occupied Jersey during World War II, where they used art to undermine the Nazi regime.
Cahun and Moore challenged gender roles and championed freedom at a time when strict societal norms meant that the truth of their relationship had to remain secret. Featuring 10 photographs by Cahun and Moore, this graphic biography by cartoonist Kaz Rowe brings Cahun’s inspiring story to life.
