Synopsis
This is the first work in English to tell the full story of Claude Cahun’s art and life. It both recounts her life and analyses her complex writings and images, making them available to a wide audience. Shaw’s account embeds Cahun’s work in the exciting milieu of Paris between the wars and follows it into the dangerous territory of the Nazi-occupied Isle of Jersey. Using letters and diaries, Shaw brings Cahun’s ideas and feelings to life and contributes to our understanding of photography, Surrealism and the histories of women artists and queer culture.
This book includes a full range of illustrations by Cahun and other renowned photographers, as well as writings never before translated into English. Shaw’s book will appeal to art and photography lovers and scholars alike.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. London: Reaktion Books, 2017. 1st edition, inscribed by author on title page (presentation copy), F/NF. Book has very little wear. DJ has some wear to upper spine and upper corners, scattered light edge wear. 134 illustrations, of which 121 are in color. Includes appendix (six examples of Cahun's writings from 1918-1933), references, select bibliography and index. Cahun (1894-1954) "challenged gender stereotypes in the 20s and 30s with her powerful photographs, photomontages and writings. She wrote prose and poetry for literary magazines and worked in avant-garde theatre. Her artful resistance tactics mocked and disrupted the Nazi occupiers of the Isle of Jersey, where she lived and worked with Marcel Moore, her step sister, lover and life partner". A very admirable person and creative artist. Nice copy. Inscribed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 003981
