Description
Claude Cahun: The Soldier With No Name A groundbreaking biography that sheds new light on the life and work of this influential artist. Claude Cahun was a writer, photographer, lesbian, and revolutionary activist who witnessed the birth of the Paris avant-garde and lived through two World Wars. Her remarkable story has been largely overlooked by history, with her contributions relegated to footnotes in the art, sexual politics, and revolutionary movements of the last century. This book is the first explicit attempt to posit Cahun as an important figure in her own right. Cahun's work is a masterpiece of anti-memoir writing, and her influence on surrealism and the avant-garde cannot be overstated. With "Claude Cahun: The Soldier With No Name", readers can gain a deeper understanding of this radical and prescient leftists' life and work, and discover why she is now being celebrated as one of the most important artists of her generation.
