Euzenat / Bien amicalement / Claude'. Deharme and Cahun, who were both active in French surrealist circles, envisioned Le Coeur de Pic as a cohesive artwork. Cahun’s photographs brought inanimate objects to life and encouraged older viewers to see the world through a child’s perspective. ‘Beyond its visual accomplishments, Le Coeur de Pic is also noteworthy as a collaborative project between two women artists. Well into the 1930s, surrealist women were still perceived as muses rather than creators, a realty that complicated collaborative projects between female artists and often resulted in the critical dismissal of their work’ (What They Saw 94).
