Book Synopsis :
In the turmoil of the 1920s and ?30s, Claude Cahun challenged gender stereotypes with her powerful photographs, montages, and writings, works that appear to our twenty-first-century eyes as utterly contemporary, or even from the future. She wrote poetry and prose for major French literary magazines, worked in avant-garde theater, and was both comrade of and critical outsider to the Surrealists. Exist Otherwise is the first work in English to the tell the full story of Claude Cahun?s art and life, one that celebrates and makes accessible Cahun?s remarkable vision.? ??????????? Jennifer L. Shaw embeds Cahun within the exciting social and artistic milieu of Paris between the wars. She examines her relationship with Marcel Moore?Cahun?s stepsister, lover, and life partner?who was a central collaborator helping make some of the most compelling photographs and photomontages of Cahun?s oeuvre, dreamscapes of disassembled portraiture and scenes that simultaneously fascinate and terrify.
