Artist: Claude Cahun
Date:1928
Medium: photograph
Cahun was a for-runner for Feminist Art. She was openly lesbian and often cross-dressed. Her work wasn't discovered and shown proper light until the 1980's. It was rare for a woman to be openly gay in her time yet she revered much respect from fellow artists. This is a self portrait which shows a demonic spirit whispering into the ear of her naive counterpart.
