Claude Cahun (born Lucy Renee Mathilde Schwob,[1] 25 October 1894 – 8 December 1954) was a French surrealist photographer, sculptor, and writer.[2]

Schwob adopted the pseudonym Claude Cahun in 1914.[3] They are best known as a writer and self-portraitist, who assumed a variety of performative personae.

Cahun's work is both political and personal. In Disavowals, they wrote: "Masculine? Feminine? It depends on the situation. Neuter is the only gender that always suits me."[4]

During World War II, Cahun was also active as a resistance worker and propagandist.

Early life

Cahun was born in Nantes in 1894,[5] into a provincial but prominent intellectual Jewish family.[6] Avant-garde writer Marcel Schwob was their uncle and Orientalist David Léon Cahun was her great-uncle. When Cahun was four years old,their mother, Mary-Antoinette Courbebaisse, began suffering from mental illness, which ultimately led to Cahun’s mother's permanent internment at a psychiatric facility.[7] In their mother's absence, Cahun was brought up by their grandmother, Mathilde.

Cahun attended a private school (Parsons Mead School) in Surrey after experiences with anti-Semitism at high school in Nantes.[8][9] Cahun attended the University of Paris, Sorbonne.[8] Cahun began making photographic self-portraits as early as 1912 (aged 18), and continued taking images of themself through the 1930s.

At fifteen, Cahun met lifelong partner Suzanne Malherbe, and took the name Claude Cahun around 1914, after having previously used the names Claude Courlis (after the curlew) and Daniel Douglas (after Lord Alfred Douglas); Malherbe adopted the pseudonym Marcel Moore.[6]: 69  In 1917, eight years after Cahun and Moore's artistic and romantic partnership began, the two became step-siblings after Cahun's divorced father and Moore's widowed mother married.[10] For the rest of their lives together, Cahun and Moore collaborated on various written works, sculptures, photomontages and collages. The two published articles and novels, notably in the periodical Mercure de France, and befriended Henri Michaux, Pierre Morhange, and Robert Desnos.

During the early 1920s, Cahun and Moore settled in Paris, and around 1922 began holding artists' salons at their home. Among the regulars who would attend were artists Henri Michaux and André Breton and literary entrepreneurs Sylvia Beach and Adrienne Monnier.[11]

Work

Cahun's works encompassed writing, photography, and theatre. They are most remembered for their highly staged self-portraits and tableaux that incorporated the visual aesthetics of Surrealism. During the 1920s Cahun produced an astonishing number of self-portraits in various guises such as aviator, dandy, doll, body builder, vamp and vampire, angel, and Japanese puppet.[6]: 66 

Some of Cahun's portraits feature the artist looking directly at the viewer, head shaved, often revealing only head and shoulders (eliminating body from the view), and a blurring of gender indicators and behaviors -- these features serve to undermine the patriarchal gaze.[12][13] Scholar Miranda Welby-Everard has written about the importance of theatre, performance, and costume that underlies Cahun's work, suggesting how this may have informed the artist's varying gender presentations.[14]

Cahun's published writings include "Heroines," (1925) a series of monologues based upon female fairy tale characters intertwined with witty comparisons to the contemporary image of women; Aveux non avenus, (Carrefour, 1930) a book of essays and recorded dreams illustrated with photomontages; and several essays in magazines and journals.[15]

In 1932 Cahun joined the Association des Écrivains et Artistes Révolutionnaires, where they met André Breton and René Crevel. Following this, they began associating with the surrealist group, and later participated in a number of surrealist exhibitions, including the London International Surrealist Exhibition (New Burlington Gallery) and Exposition surréaliste d'Objets (Charles Ratton Gallery, Paris), both in 1936. Cahun's photograph from the London exhibition of Sheila Legge standing in the middle of Trafalgar Square, her head obscured by a flower arrangement and pigeons perching on their outstretched arms, appeared in numerous newspapers and was later reproduced in a number of books.[16][17] In 1934, Cahun published a short polemic essay, Les Paris sont Ouverts, and in 1935 took part in the founding of the left-wing anti-fascist alliance Contre Attaque, alongside André Breton and Georges Bataille.[18] Breton called Cahun "one of the most curious spirits of our time."[19]

In 1994 the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London held an exhibition of Cahun's photographic self-portraits from 1927–47, alongside the work of two young contemporary British artists, Virginia Nimarkoh and Tacita Dean, entitled Mise en Scene. In the surrealist self-portraits, Cahun represented themself as androgyne, a nymph, a model, and a soldier.[20]

In 2007, David Bowie created a multi-media exhibition of Cahun's work in the gardens of the General Theological Seminary in New York. It was part of a venue called the Highline Festival, which also included offerings by Air, Laurie Anderson, and Mike Garson. Bowie said of Cahun:

"You could call her transgressive or you could call her a cross dressing Man Ray with surrealist tendencies. I find this work really quite mad, in the nicest way. Outside of France and now the UK she has not had the kind of recognition that, as a founding follower, friend and worker of the original Surrealist movement, she surely deserves."[21]

Collaboration with Marcel Moore

Cahun's work was often a collaboration with Marcel Moore. Cahun and Moore collaborated frequently, though this often goes unrecognized. It is believed that Moore was often the person standing behind the camera during Cahun's portrait shoots and was an equal partner in Cahun's collages.[12]

With the majority of the photographs attributed to Cahun coming from a personal collection, not one meant for public display, it has been proposed that these personal photographs allowed for her to experiment with gender presentation and the role of the viewer to a greater degree.[12]

World War II activism

In 1937, Cahun and Moore settled in Jersey. Following the fall of France and the German occupation of Jersey and the other Channel Islands, they became active as resistance workers and propagandists.

Fervently against war, the two worked extensively in producing anti-German fliers. Many were snippets from English-to-German translations of BBC reports on the Nazis' crimes and abuses which were pasted together to create rhythmic poems and harsh criticism. They created many of these messages under the German pseudonym Der Soldat Ohne Namen, or The Soldier With No Name, to deceive German soldiers that there was a conspiracy among the occupation troops.[22]

The couple then dressed up and attended many German military events in Jersey, strategically placing their pamphlets in soldier's pockets, on their chairs, and in cigarette boxes for soldiers to find. Additionally, they inconspicuously crumpled up and threw their fliers into cars and windows.

They hung a banner in a local church which read “Jesus is great, but Hitler is greater – because Jesus died for people, but people die for Hitler.” As with much of Cahun and Moore's artistic work in Paris, many of their notes also used this same style of dark humor.

In many ways, Cahun and Moore's resistance efforts were not only political but artistic actions, using their creative talents to manipulate and undermine the authority which they despised.

Cahun's life's work was focused on undermining a certain authority; however, their activism posed a threat to Cahun's physical safety. As historian Jeffrey H. Jackson writes in his definitive study of their wartime resistance Paper Bullets, for Cahun and Moore, “fighting the German occupation of Jersey was the culmination of lifelong patterns of resistance, which had always borne a political edge in the cause of freedom as they carved out their own rebellious way of living in the world together. For them, the political was always deeply personal.”[23]

In 1944, Cahun and Moore were arrested by the Nazis, sentenced to death, and imprisoned for a year,[24] but the sentence was never carried out, as the island was liberated from German occupation in 1945.[18] According to the documentary The Channel Islands at War, Cahun said to the German judge at the trial that the Germans would have to shoot them twice as they were not only resisters, but Jews too. This apparently brought a peal of laughter from the court and is said to have been one reason the execution was not carried out.[25] However, Cahun's health never recovered from her treatment in jail, and Cahun died in 1954.

Cahun is buried in St Brelade's Church with partner Marcel Moore.

Social critique and legacy

Cahun made work for herself and did not want to be famous.[26] It wasn't until 40 years after her death that Cahun's work became recognized. In many ways, Cahun's life was marked by actions which revolted against convention and her public image has since become a commentary which challenges the public's notions of sexuality, gender, beauty, and logic. Her work displays a revolutionary way of thinking and creating which unsettles the audience's understanding of photography as a documentation of reality. Her poetry challenges gender roles and attacks the increasingly modern world's social and economic boundaries. Also, Cahun's participation with the Parisian Surrealist group brought an element of diversity to the group's output which ushered in new representations. Most Surrealist artists were men, and her primary images of women depicted them as isolated symbols of eroticism rather than as the chameleonic, gender non-conforming figure that Cahun presented. Her photographs, writings, and general life as an artistic and political revolutionary continues to influence artists.

Cahun's collected writings were published in 2002 as Claude Cahun – Écrits (ISBN 2-85893-616-1), edited by François Leperlier.

Street sign for 'allée Claude Cahun-Marcel Moore' in the 6th arrondissement of Paris

In 2018, a street of Paris took the name of "Allée Claude Cahun – Marcel Moore"[27] (area of Saint-Germain-des-Prés – Montparnasse, near the rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs where Claude and Suzanne lived).

Rupert Thomson's 2018 novel, Never Anyone But You, was based on the life of Cahun and Moore. It was favourably reviewed by Adam Mars-Jones in the London Review of Books.[28]

Cahun and Moore's WWII activism and heroism are documented by Jeffrey H. Jackson in the 2020 book, Paper Bullets: Two Artists Who Risked Their Lives to Defy the Nazis.[29]

Google honored Claude Cahun by showing an animated Doodle on its home page in many countries on October 25, 2021, for her 127th birthday.[30][31]
