Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore

 Hi everyone!!!!!

Today I'm going to talk about a couple of artists that are experts in my field that is visual arts.

Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore!!!!

Claude Cahun is a pseudonym for Lucy Renné Matilde Schowb, born on October 25th of 1894 in Nantes, France, they were a surrealist artist, writer, sculptor and painter although they focused on photography and literature.

Marcel Moore is a pseudonym for Suzanne Alberte Malherbe, born on July 19th of 1892 in Nantes too, they were a designer ilustrator and photographer.

They were a couple in a romantic way, and they lived together in Paris, together they got involved in the surrealist movement and contributed to avant-grade theatrical and artistic activities. 

They used gender-neutral pseudonyms and pronouns, in their writing consintently refered to themselves as "elle" "they/them", they are well know for their androgynous appearance. 


Most of their work are photos, like self-portraits, in these they constantly explored the limits of gender, through the use of costumes, dresses and masks, questioning stereotypes, roles, identity and sexuality, 



I like them, because I think they are so brave, and always their art was so queer, political and smart, I admire their resistance to the binary's mind of the society. I wish I could be like them someday, that brave. 

Goodbye!!! I hope you like my blog. xoxo.
