Language: English

ISBN-13: 978-1780237282
Amazon writes: 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.

Women Making Art: History, Subjectivity, Aesthetics
By Marsha Meskimmon
London and New York: Routledge, 2003
ISBN 0-415-24278-9.
Tee Corinne in Queer Caucus for Art newsletter, June 2003: (The book) “includes an extended discussion of work by lesbian photographers Claude Cahun (1894-1954) and Rosy Martin (1946-). There are great bibliographic notations, but the inadequate index is both perplexing and vexing”.
NB! The fact that an artist is mentioned in Feminine Moments’ bibliography it is of course no guaranty that she will be lesbian, bisexual or queer tomorrow, nor that the authors of the above books are “out and proud” in their writings…
