		In many ways, Cahun and Malherbe's resistance efforts were not only political but artistic actions, using their creative talents to manipulate and undermine the authority which they despised.
		In many ways, Cahun's life was marked by a sense of role reversal, and her public identity became a commentary upon not only her own, but the public's notions of sexuality, gender, beauty, and logic.
		Claude Cahun is often claimed today as a historical example of a lesbian or queer woman, but some are now claiming Cahun as a transgender person on the female-to-male spectrum.

		Claude Cahun (the pen name of Lucy Schwob) was born in 1894 to a prominent Jewish publishing family in the French provincial city of Nantes.
		In some, Cahun experiments with androgyny (with closely cropped hair or with her head shaved, she could be a man or a woman); in others, she interprets literary or historical male and female roles.
		While Cahun and Moore were not the only prominent same-sex couple of the day, Breton and others in their milieu were openly disdainful of homosexuals, and in the late 1930s, anti-Semitism was on the rise.

		Claude Cahun was born Lucy Schwob in Nantes in 1894 to a wealthy Jewish intellectual family.
		Cahun’s photographs and photomontages are strangely prescient in their concern with sexual politics and gender identity.
		The ignorance about Cahun is such that there are source books on Surrealism that refer to her as a man. Cahun’s boyish image was, in fact, shocking in the context of mainstream French Surrealism.

	Cahun
		Cahun plays with a vast repertoire of camouflage which rather than hiding the chameleon in its environment brings her out to the fringes and the forefront by its rebellious breaking of assigned roles.
		Claude Cahun's theatrical transvestitism must have made her circle of surrealists at least a little uneasy.
		Cahun said of her sailing narcissism and the violence of imposed limits: "I do not want to stitch, stab, puncture, but with the most extreme point.

	Claude Cahun: The surreal deal - Telegraph
		Cahun's life was as vivid and curious as her self-portraits.
		Cahun began experimenting with photography and self-portraiture as early as 1912, and after trying out two other pseudonyms, Claude Courlis and Daniel Douglas, she settled on the similarly androgynous Claude Cahun.
		Cahun also liked to take her cats for a walk along the beach on a lead, and occasionally took a stroll in her nightdress and an RAF leather helmet, but for the most part the women kept themselves to themselves.

	Maitresse: Claude Cahun
		Cahun, who lived in Paris from 1922 to 1938 with her partner (and step-sister) Suzanne Malherbe, had a similarly unsettled relationship to the avant-garde groups with whom she was associated, notably the Surrealists, as well as the expatriate circle of lesbians in Paris who gathered around Nathalie Clifford Barney’s salon.
		Cahun’s work anticipates Simone de Beauvoir, Cindy Sherman, and Judith Butler; however, given that Cahun’s work was lost to us after her death and only rediscovered by Leperlier in the late 1980s, and only begun to appear in museum exhibitions in 1992, we cannot claim Cahun as a forebear for these women.
		Cahun was the subject of my mémoire de DEA at Paris IV, in which I examined her relationship to the avant-garde, the surrealist movement, her decadent influences, her politics, and her conception of the fluidity and mobility of identity.

	Radical lesbian artists' work finds a new audience 70 years later
		Although Cahun (born Lucie Schwob) took part in surrealist theater in Paris during the 1920s and early 1930s while Moore (born Suzanne Malherbe) designed the sets and costumes, their most engaging theatrics were staged privately and documented through photography.
		Cahun and Moore were key participants on the surrealist scene, but by the mid-1930s, they'd been pushed to the margins.
		Cahun and Moore were forgotten until the 1990s, when the future they hoped for finally produced art historians who looked back and dug the pair out of a deep obscurity.

	The Power Issue: Claude Cahun / Queerty
		Cahun's pursuit of this elusive general freedom brought her as much fame as it did trouble.
		In 1919, at the age of 23, Cahun officially changed her name to Claude Cahun, intentionally choosing an androgynous identity to challenge heteronormative power.
		Cahun’s penchant for social and cultural defiance came in especially handy after her move to Paris in 1922.

		Cahun converted the translations into rhymed couplets or faked conversations that they published in typed or handwritten formats, often executed in colored inks on tonal papers and sometimes accompanied by Malherbe's illustrations.
		In this venture, Cahun donned what was perhaps the most poignant of all her costumes, a wig and rumpled clothing.
		In a photograph of Cahun taken at her house on the day of her release, she holds one of these souvenirs between her teeth.

	Astrid Peterle - Institute for Human Sciences
		I quote Katy Kline: “Cahun’s achievement was to stretch, permeate, and infiltrate the established boundaries of gender definition.“[22] The American author Laura Cottingham was one of the first to accuse François Leperlier of not drawing enough attention to Claude Cahun’s lesbianism.
		The question should not be why Claude Cahun stages herself in the portraits the way she does, but rather why we (the scholars) today perceive these stagings/representations as radical and why we describe her as “avant la lettre” – how the stagings/representations function for us, under which circumstances, in which context and under which perspective.
		In the case of Claude Cahun’s academic reception there exist some psychoanalytically based approaches which, for example, conclude with the thesis that Claude Cahun’s staging of multiple and gender-blurred identities as well as the fragmentation of her body in photomontages are signs for psychological disorder and anorexia.

	Acting Out: Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore
		The photographic oeuvre featuring Cahun has earned acclaim and circulated in contemporary shows and publications under the banner of "self-portraiture." I take exception to this classification on several counts.
		Cahun's collaborator, after all, was not a professional assistant but her life-long mate, Moore.
		It appears to have served, on the contrary, to destabilize the notion of "self" that the portrait genre has historically upheld--and, more constructively, to provide an arena of experimentation within which the photographer and the subject could improvise alternate scenarios of social, sexual, and artistic practice.

	Claude Cahun, l'exception
		Claude Cahun, l’artiste visionnaire, la personnalité dérangeante, la résistante condamnée à mort, celle qui n’a jamais voulu se contenter d’être une muse du surréalisme a toujours été occultée, tronquée, trahie.
		Claude, pour sa part, anticipa non seulement le vingtième siècle mais également le vingt-et-unième. Et il ne s’agit pas seulement d’une question d’apparences, bien que les apparences soient si importantes.
		Le crâne rasé de Claude, ses vêtements amples et élégants, son style si chic, son appareil photo, ces éléments qui la caractérisaient si bien sont encore et toujours des accessoires nécessaires et des activités artistiques actuelles.

		Cahun was fascinated by theatricality and performance, appearing in male and female roles in avant-garde theatre in Paris as well as transforming and disguising herself in the series of masquerade photographs that has become her legacy.
		The film is especially relevant to Cahun because it is full of images of gender ambiguity, from the lesbian couple who attend a medical lecture to Dr Frankenstein's intense relationship with the monster.
		Cahun's self-portrait photographs are fantastic elaborations of a possible self.

		Cahun's photographs that present her as a mixture of male and female components are shocking, outlandish, and ingenious.
		In a dramatic self-portrait from 1928, Cahun is a sexy, glamorously made-up female with a scarf draped around her neck.
		Thus, Cahun is able to contrast her feminine neckline, or a more feminine version of herself, with a more masculine portrayal.
