Self-portrait, 1927. Her shirt says, “I am in training, don’t kiss me.” While David Bowie will always be my very first cultural touchstone of avant-garde androgyny, it’s Claude Cahun that’s my absolute favorite. And I’m sure Bowie would approve. He once 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.” You don’t really get much of a better recommendation than that, and looking as alien and draggy as anything Mr. Rebel Rebel ever dreamed of, her many photographic incarnations are just mesmerizing. Born in 1894 as Lucy Renee Mathilde Schwob in Nantes, France, she was from a family of artistic Jewish intellectuals. Cahun chose her pseudonym for its unisex ambiguity—the surname was her paternal grandmother’s, who raised her, as Cahun’s mother struggled with mental illness. Her life-long artistic collaborator, romantic partner, and step-sister, Suzanne Malherbe, went by Marcel Moore, and together they fostered a true avant-garde community, hosting salons in their Paris home. (André Breton, author of Surrealist Manifesto, was a regular attendant.) Though photography is her most famous medium,...

Le surréalisme a beaucoup contribué au développement de la photographie artistique en France et dans toute l’Europe. Expérimentations, collages, jeux identitaires – les artistes, ou plutôt les personnalités curieuses de l’époque exploitèrent ce support comme un outil d’exploration. Figer le réel, le rendre dans son intégralité avec une précision que la peinture atteint difficilement, puis…

E’ stato un San Valentino un po’ diverso dal solito per me quest’anno perché sono stata al cinema a vedere il film-documentario “Io Claude Monet”. Questo film è uscito nelle sale in Italia per due soli giorni, il 14 e il 15 febbraio. Essendo stata, poi, alcuni anni fa a nord della Francia e in visita in particolare a Rouen e sulla costa tanto amata da Monet, la visione del film è stata per me particolarmente appassionante.
