Claude Cahun is the most important artist you've never heard of -
until now. Writer, photographer, lesbian; revolutionary activist,
surrealist, resistance fighter - Cahun witnessed the birth of the
Paris avant-garde, lived through two World Wars and, as 'Der Soldat
ohne Namen', risked death by inciting mutiny on Nazi-occupied
Jersey. And yet, she's until recently been merely a peripheral
figure in these world-shaping events, relegated by academics to the
footnotes in the history of art, sexual politics and revolutionary
movements of the last century. Now more so than ever, Cahun demands
a significant presence in the history of surrealism and the
avant-garde - even, in the literary canon of early
twentieth-century literature. Indeed her one major book,
Disavowals, is a masterpiece of anti-memoir writing. Much has been
made of her as a photographer, but Claude Cahun 'the writer' was
one of the most radical and prescient leftists of the century. At a
time when her star is rising like never before Claude Cahun: The
Soldier With No Name represents the first explicit attempt in
English to posit Cahun as an important figure in her own right, and
to popularise one of the most prescient and influential artists of
her generation.
