Now available in paperback, 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.
