CLAUDE CAHUN (LUCY SCHWOB) | 'LA CHAMBRE DU CHAT'

Claude Cahun was a writer, actress, artist, and outspoken member of the Parisian lesbian community between the two world wars. In her series of inventive self-portraits, she embodied a wide array of masculine and feminine personas, often including her cat in the fanciful scenarios. In this seductive image, her feline friend takes center stage as it sunbathes on a miniature canopied bed.
