Opis

This is the first single-authored book in English on the photographer Claude Cahun, whose work was rediscovered in the 1980s. Addressing Cahun's ambivalent relationship with Symbolism and later relationship with Surrealism, this highly readable book also looks at Cahun's unusual approach to the domestic object.
